Hey guys,
I have an 85 cherokee 4cyl that I completely stripped down to the bare frame (unibody, i know) and I built the motor up, blah blah... Anyways, I dropped the motor in it last night, and for the life of me I cant figure out how the alternator and power steering brackets mount back on. It did have A/C, but I'm not reinstalling that. Does anybody have pictures of how the mounts bolt up? I know that the p/s goes on the drivers side and the alternator goes under the A/C compressor on the passenger side, but these stupid brackets have me stumped... Its a long shot, but hopefully someone out there in the universe has pictures. Thanks guys...


-Travis

He said 4 cylinder. Not 4.0. In other words, the 2.5. The Iron Duke. The Pontiac engine.

And I love Pontiacs.
