An external sprue bar position alignment device is comprised of a mounting bracket and a sprue bar alignment frame that is attached to the mounting bracket. The sprue bar alignment frame and mounting bracket define a channel configured to receive a sprue bar upon a mold closing. The sprue bar alignment frame and the mounting bracket are disposed to maintain alignment of an end of the sprue bar with an injection nozzle. The device includes an adjustment device, said adjustment device provided for movement of at least one of the mounting bracket or the sprue bar position alignment frame relative to a path of the sprue bar such that at least one of the mounting block or the sprue bar position alignment frame may bias the sprue bar in a selected direction upon the molding closing. The sprue bar position alignment device may be adjusted without disassembling the mold.
