1967 Chevy 327 Alternator Setup

I don't know if it applies only to other engines with accessory holes in the head, but I have seen posts here on the forum about the 1972-only upper alternator bracket being longer and different shape that allows for more adjustment room.

Yeah, there certainly seems to be a lot of discussion about several different braces.

There are sure to be videos online about clocking your alternator. It merely involves removing the 4 screws attaching the two halves together, pulling them slightly apart to allow rotation, and putting the screws back in one the rotation is complete. Careful, because if you go to far apart you'll have to deal with reinstalling the brushes in the holder.

I was able to reclock it. It gave me a little more room, but it still hits the valve cover. I will post up some pictures later.
