Does anybody know if the tensioner in the Alan Grove kit is their own design, or is it available elsewhere?

Not trying to hi-jack the thread. Just thought I would ask since you guys were talking about their brackets. I am trying to plan out my accessory drive setup, and am looking for parts.

Will this bracket allow a 508 compressor to clear the stock frame on a 68 Camaro without notching it? I'm running the F-Body accessory kit on my 6.0L. Anyone know?

Short answer is no. It depends on where the engine is located.

I'm running the Holley system with the F body drive spaced 3/4" forward with a truck balancer. I made a custom bracket with a 7176 compressor. No notching but a 508 won't fit.

Wayne are you set on running a 508? I modified the alan grove bracket to work with a sd7 using a ems manifold. Fits very snug to the block.

I have a bracket to try to mount the SD7 close to the block. I tried it against the block and its hitting somewhere. I don't want to trim it someone is letting me try it for my car. I will be back in the garage this week after a cross country drive.
