Hi , can someone help me with this problem. I have tried to bolt up my new stock alternator brackets, stock type alternator (excel 7127-3) and a edelbrock torker manifold and it donīt fit. The upper bracket that should line up with the bolt hole i the manifold isnīt even close to line up. Am I suppost to bend the bracket or what? Doesnt feel good to do that. Alternator on the passanger side. Any ideas whatīs wrong?

Regards Stanley

 

I had the same problem. I just ran it without the top bolt. Not saying that's the correct way to do it, though.

 

Me, too.
On an A/C car with the alternator on the driver's side.
It was off a mile! The bracket was short at least an inch.
I extended it by "migging" a piece the same thickness and drilled the extension where I needed the hole.
I dressed it up and painted it. If you didn't know, it looks like factory.

 

On my '71, I only run the main bracket (like the '72). if you decide to use both pcs., do what Ed says and modify to fit, please don't try to bend it.

 

OK, Thankīs, on the passanger side itīs too long. About an inch wrong.

OK, Good to have that confirmed. For a while i was thinking I had the wrong parts, alternator and so on.

Thank you.

 

I had to do the same as far as welding an additional inch or so to that bracket where it mounts to the intake. A little grinding and krylon and nobody would know the difference.
