Thanks JC. The 68BB photo is similar to the chrome brackets I
purchased. Note that on your upper bracket, your alternator is behind
the bracket, so you can loosen the slider bolt from the front. On my
'73, my alternator has to be placed in front of the bracket. Also,
your alternator mounting bolt (through the lower alternator
bracket) appears to have one long spacer. I ended up with one long
spacer and two shorter ones, which I wish I paid more attention to
what order they came off.
Today I put the old brackets back on and it almost looks right, but is
still not. My pulley does not line up with the other pulleys. And it
appears that if I could get the pulley to line up, the belt would
interfere with the end of that long mounting bolt (the one with the
spacers). I can't believe I'm having this much trouble with this
repair. My next step is to as a coworker of mine if I can look under
the hood of his '75 El Camino so I can compare. Might be a little
awkward because I don't know this coworker at all....I just know
there's a '75 El Camino in the parking lot next to mine every day. I
am an El Camino stalker.
