66 delta 88 with a/c

I can't find the alternator adjusting bracket to complete my a/c install. The alternator is on the drivers side next to the p/s pump. So, I'm gonna make one but all the pictures I've be able to find show that bracket dropping beside the alternator and must be attaching to something on the intake manifold - but what? Picture would be great. Getting desperate.. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the quick reply, that's definitely the bracket I need, I'll take it, how much do you want - Just joking. That is the adjusting bracket I'm looking for. Could I impose upon you to take a picture from above looking down to where the bracket goes down toward the intake manifold. Need to get some idea of the general set up before I start the fabrication. Sure wish I could find one of those. My email is dazzler65611@yahoo.com

The problem is I dont have that car, I just grabbed the picture from a 66 Delta for sale on ebay. It would seem to me that bracket should not be that hard to find. I would think all 65, 66, 67 and maybe more fullsize cars with the BB would use that part. Did you post in parts wanted?

An ebay search found this and he has top and bottom brackets

I thought it would be easy to find also but that's not the case. The non-air car bracket is easy but the bracket for an a/c car has turned into a nightmare to find, they're totally different. I find non-a/c car brackets all over. I've posted in parts wanted and tried to find in the few classic salvage yards left but no luck so far. I've been scouring e-bay for some time now and no luck finding the brackets I need. Anyway that's why I'm about down to fabricating something but I do at least need a picture. Thanks.
