They fit really good, if they were any wider it would have a gap at the edges. When they are tightened down they snug up really nice. The firewall has at least 3.5 inches of clearance and the driver side firewall almost looks like it was made to accomodate them. I drove around the block 3 times and checked for any oil around them and could not find any leaks, so I am confident they'll work out!

SWEET and they look great too..for under $100 and what 30 min install ?

I know the bracket is made for headers but I am not able to install the headers right now. So what I did was just cut a couple of 1/2" spacers to bring the main bracket out. Seems to be real sturdy. But I have a clearance issue with the alternator on the bracket itself. I can only rotate the top of the alternator about an inch before the case of it bottoms out on the main bracket. Leaving me not much to adjust a belt with. I was wondering if you had the same issue?

Actually I did. Once everything is together you should be able to lean it further toward the driver inner fender. I had another alternator on it and did a little grinding so I could have some adjustment, but after I tilted it out more it didn't need grinding and I have at least 3 inches of adjustment. If you need a belt part number it's a Gates 7541 XL, and here is a pic that might help. I may have already posted it, but you can see that the mounting tab on the alt is almost horizontal.

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking that maybe once I got the belt on and was able to tighten all the brackets thing might line up a little better. I also found out that the brackets from a 63 thru 67 327 corvette will work perfect with my setup too.

No problem! I bet the brackets for the Corvette are probably a little more pricey!

The garage isn't that big really, it's a little cramped with all of the woman's holiday decorations for the house. I admit, almost everyday the garage door comes up. Before I brought the truck home it got opened maybe 3 times a week.

We have garage sale junk at the front door so we can get it out easy, that should help alot when it's gone. All of the clutter can be organized and we might be able to come to an agreement on the amount of foofy decorations that she actually keeps!
