Thank you Mary!

I went to a great salvage yard yesterday.  The owner used to drive a GMC 
Sprint.  He immediately recognized my Autozone alternator as the correct one 
for 
my year of vehicle.  He also saw my "before" photo and said the old 
aternator belonged to a mid to late 80's GM vehicle.  He sold me some 
alternator 
brackets that were identical to the ones in your photo.  Unfortunately they 
still don't fit.  I think this all has to do with the previous owner installing 
a 1980-ish carburetor on the car, which would presumably required replacing the 
intake manifold, which would then require fabbing new alternator brackets, and 
throw on an incorrect alternator to top it all off.  What do I have now.........

.......a Clustertruck!!!   (new name for my '73 Sprint).

Still was a good weekend, though, and I'm very glad to find a friendly, 
patient, 
knowledgeable salvage yard owner.  That's as good as gold.
