Wednesday Update

Carb disassembled and cleaned -







Reassembled -

















Valve covers placed on, checked for clearance.
May have to shave the driver's side exhaust manifold a little along the top.




Throttle cable linkage on carb not lining up right.
Had to modify the carb linkage and drill new hole.
Had to modify the bracket by cutting/welding it inward.

Now for the next "stupid" thing to have happen. WTH
The new alternator doesn't line up with the bracket.
The alternator hits the valve cover and the bracket isn't long
enough to reach over to where it'd clear not hitting the valve cover.

Need advice on how to fix this please! tia
We're considering fabricating the existing bracket to extend it out more.
But if there's another bracket and belt we can use, that'd be better.
I thought I had read that a bracket from a Corvette would work.
Any ideas anyone?!











Even the old alternator doesn't seem to line up.
