Does anyone have a picture of the 1972 big block alternator brackets installed? Specifically the rear support rod. Where does it bolt to on the engine? How is it attached? Thanks in advance.

Is it different than 1970? I can get pics of that, but don't know if it's the same (PM me if it is and I forget!)

As far as I know the 1972 big block alternator brackets are a one year only style.

Correct, it is a 72 only bracket setup,
You should be able to make out the rear rod attachment in this pictures

It looks like it attaches to a bolt which secures the header. I have stick manifolds on mine. I wonder if it attaches the same way.

Looks like it goes behind the exhaust manifold. Am I seeing that correct?

Ipads are good for blowing up pics.

It actually goes to a bolt above the exhaust bolt, sorry for the bad pic.
