Re: 1967 Chevy 327 Alternator Setup

I don't have a '67 or a 327, but I do have a different type of Alternator bracket on my '71 GMC Jimmy with a 350 and SM465 4-speed...
Also, I upgraded to the 12SI internally-regulated Alternator when the O'Reilly warranty part EVRs kept being dud after dud.
Short water pump.
Semper Fi.

Does the alternator move over the top of the valve cover? Do you have a photo of that?

Thanks.

The Alternator is pulled away from the valve cover.
I usually use a hammer handle to get leverage before tightening the Alternator bolt to the right belt tension.
I think the Alternator body would contact the valve cover without a tensioned fan belt. Also the type 12SI is slightly greater in diameter than the type 10 [w/ external regulator].
I'll try to shoot another picture later.
