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 Bearings

Kanter Auto main bearings are available for a wide range of classic vehicles, including many Buick, Chevy, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, DeSoto, Plymouth, Dodge, Edsel, Ford, Mercury, Studebaker, GMC, Hudson, Cadillac, Lincoln, LaSalle, American Motors, Nash, and Jeep models. Main bearings hold the crankshaft in place within the engine block and allow it to rotate smoothly on a thin film of oil. Order the set recommended for your application. Product details: * The main bearings support the crankshaft as it rotates. * A thin film of oil flows between the rotating crankshaft and the bearing shells, preventing direct contact and reducing friction. * They are typically plain or journal bearings made with a steel backing and a thin lining of a bearing alloy. * The main function is to allow the crankshaft to spin with minimal wear and to absorb the tremendous forces generated by the engine. * Kanter Auto focuses on providing parts for older vehicles, including main bearings designed for specific makes and models from the classic and muscle car eras. They supply high-quality, precision-fit parts to help restore and maintain engine performance in these vehicles.

Kanter Rod Bearings

Kanter rod bearings are precision-made for classic cars to support the crankshaft, reduce friction between the rod and crank, and allow the piston's linear motion to become the crankshaft's rotation. These components are crucial for converting piston movement into crankshaft rotation, fitting into the connecting rod's "big end" with a cap, and relying on engine oil for a protective film. Kanter rod bearings come as two semi-circular halves (shells) that fit into the connecting rod and its cap. They are available in standard sizes, as well as undersizes to match worn crankshaft journals, ensuring smooth rotation and proper lubrication for vintage engines.

Enginetech Mechanical Lifters

Enginetech mechanical lifters (also known as solid lifters) are precision-machined, non-adjustable engine components designed to transfer motion from the camshaft lobe directly to the pushrod or valve in an engine. Unlike hydraulic lifters, they have no internal plungers or oil-filled reservoirs. Additional details: * Solid construction: Constructed entirely as a single piece of metal to provide a rigid connection, making them ideal for high-RPM operation and racing applications. * No valve float: By eliminating the squish of oil found in hydraulic lifters, they maintain precise valve timing and lift at high engine speeds. * OEM specifications: Manufactured to meet or exceed strict original equipment tolerances for proper oil metering and engine performance. * Ready to install: Enginetech packages their lifters hermetically sealed to prevent contamination and they often arrive pre-soaked in oil to save valuable prep time on the workbench. * Common applications: Mechanical lifters are heavily utilized in classic American V8s, classic restoration projects, and high performance engines equipped with mechanical/solid camshafts * Available individually, or in sets of 4 or 16
