Re: Alternator bracket help (pics?)
Thanks for the reply, but yes, I think your first response was for the SC, and I have found lots of pics for that. My bracket (brace?) is a straight piece maybe 7 inches long, generally flat, but with a slight c-shape in profile, with a hole on one end and a "thick hole" or built-in spacer at the hole at the other end (sorry for the poor wording). The flat hole mounts on the long bolt at the 6 o'clock position on the alternator (the bottom). Facing the passenger side of the car, the brace runs down at about a 4 o'clock angle to a point just below the coil pack.
There are three studs coming out of the block on that side, but the brace is only long enough to reach two. One has a 15 mm bolt with a ground wire, and the other has a 13 mm bolt, which sits inside a round cast "hole". This stud has threads above and below the nut. I think the brace goes to this stud, but if I put the stud through the brace, it's not long enough for the threads to catch in the block, and if I put the brace on the outer portion after threading it in, the hex portion won't fit inside the tube of the brace.
Maybe I'll try to post pics of what I have.
Thanks again.
Jim
