The alternator must be in alignment with the
pulleys on the crank and water pump. As with the
stock alternator, shims can be used to adjust the
location to get it in alignment. If not a bracket
can be fabricated from 1/4" flat bar. If you go
to Summit's web site they have various types of
top brackets that you can select from.
