Summit Racing™ Generator-to-Alternator Conversion Brackets
For classic vehicle owners who like their stock 6-cylinder, but want to upgrade to a 12 V alternator for improved battery charging and reliability, we have some helpful solutions. Our Summit Racing™ generator-to-alternator conversion brackets will get you started on your way to a more robust charging system. Without changing the stock mounting location or interference with other components, these 2-piece bracket kits simply replace the existing generator brackets, allowing you to securely mount your alternator. These sturdy steel brackets are designed and precision cut to fit both externally and internally regulated GM alternators. Select the correct Summit Racing™ generator-to-alternator conversion brackets designed for your classic vehicle. Bracket kit notes: * 2-piece kits * No hardware included * No changes to the stock mounting location--factory generator brackets are simply removed, and our alternator brackets replace them * Brackets will not work with the later mini-type alternators, like the CS. * Factory original 6-cylinder motors only--totally stock with generators * Since the vehicles of this time were never wired for alternators, you'll need to do some wiring. Here at Summit™ we offer many conversion harness kits to change the wiring to fit your external or internal-type alternator. Select one to complete your installation.

Kanter Main Bearing Shim Sets
Kanter Auto main bearing shim sets are collections of pre-cut, laminated brass used to adjust the precise clearance and alignment of main bearings on a vintage engine's crankshaft. These shims are installed between the main bearing cap and the engine block, allowing for adjustments to reduce wear and noise, improve rigidity, and correct any misalignment. Product details: * Precise clearance adjustment: Shims are used to achieve the exact bearing clearance specified by the manufacturer, which is critical for engine performance and longevity. * Aligning components: They help ensure proper alignment of the crankshaft within the engine block, reducing stress on the bearings and other engine components. * Reducing noise and vibration: Correctly shimmed bearings prevent excessive play, which minimizes noise and vibration during operation. * Correcting wear: When components wear, the shims can be used to restore proper spacing and function. * Pre-cut and laminated: The shims are pre-cut to fit specific engine applications and are often made of laminated material, meaning thin layers can be peeled off for precise thickness adjustments.

Kanter Engine Valves
Kanter engine valves provide tangible gains in an engine's power, efficiency, and lifespan by strategically improving how air and fuel enter and exit the cylinder. Engine valves are one of the engine's most critical components, as they must withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, hitting impacts and loads during their lifetime. Because the operating temperatures of the intake and exhaust valves are highly different, various materials, structures, and manufacturing methods are required and implemented for each type of valve. Kanter's valve lineup includes various processes, such as forging, machining, welding, nitriding, and specialty coatings, that provide strength and durability. Select the engine valves tailored for your application needs.

Kanter Valve Lifters
Kanter Auto focuses on precision-engineered valve lifter replacements, both hydraulic and solid, for vintage and classic cars, ensuring correct fitment and performance for older engines. As crucial components in an engine's valve train, the valve lifters purpose is to transfer motion from the camshaft lobe to the pushrods or rocker arms, ensuring valves open and close at the right time, with hydraulic types automatically adjusting for slack, while solid lifters offer performance but need manual adjustments. Restore proper engine function and performance for your classic vehicle with Kanter valve lifters.
