Take it back and get the correct one. Not an option?

Benny:
Did you buy a CS130 or CS130D? The CS130D is too large and will not fit the factory brackets. Here are 2 pics of the CS130 I recommended to you from Tuff Stuff. The part number for a natural finish (not polished) is 7935k-11G and it's rated at 160A. With the exception of the factory rear brace, it fit my '72 brackets without any issues.

The only alternators ever used on Olds motors were the 10DN (external regulator), 10SI, 12SI, and CS130. All four of these used exactly the same dimension between the two mounting bolts, so they all interchange in any 1963-1990 Olds V8 brackets. There are no factory brackets that accept a larger alternator. Your only options are to find an aftermarket set of brackets or fabricate your own. I am not aware of any aftermarket brackets that can accept a larger alternator for Olds motors.
