So you need one or you just can't get it to fit properly?

When I got the truck the lower mount wasn't on. So I have nooo idea how it fits. I've searched high and low and can't find a diagram for it. Thanks for the help! Happy Easter!

What I'm wondering is how the bottom bracket fits on. Thanks for the help!

The alternator bracket has two holes a few inches back from the front of the block where a couple bolts [3/8"-16 UNC] attach it to the block. There are twin holes at 90* a couple inches wide for the alternator [long] pivot bolt to go thru at the front of the bracket.
There is an old style that is cast iron and a newer style that is made up from sandwich-welded 1/4 iron strap. The newer style thrusts the alternator pulley a little farther forward than the old style.
Top of the alternator is secured by a 'banana' bracket in the head.

My bracket is the old one and when I put a new alt on I had to grind out the holes so the new alt would line up the pulley's.

I had the old type on the old 292 block. When I rebuilt another block and went to swap the alternator bracket over, I noticed it was about 1/2" -- 3/4" too far back. Luckily my buddy had found a blue 250 short block (no head) in the middle of a road [maybe it fell off on the way to the dump.] We went back and grabbed it. The 250 was toast with a frozen #2 cylinder, but it was a gold mine of accessories, including the newer strap-style alternator bracket.

I have several of both types and I can't find one of them that are right for the 292 I'm putting together. I'm just about to buy buy one of those aftermarket all-one-piece Alt, PS and AC mounts. I just can't afford it right now.
