Found out that I had power steering brackets.
No wonder the alt. never sat right.

those are hard to find and take a really long belt, last time I checked, Frank's has one. The "alternate" way is to put a spacer between the alternator and the power steering bracket on the bottom bolt.

I've been looking thru some of the aftermarket catalogs and some have them listed as 68-70 but some 69 & up is the bracket the same whether 8 or 11 bolt w. pump ?

We will see what others say, but every single one of those power steering brackets I have from 67-74 seem identical. Take a look at the manual steering bracket on Frank's Pontiac parts, totally different.

I think I may have found one locally.
But thanks for your replies.
