Re: Alternater bracket suggestions
The issue with the vortec heads is the posi-locks I used on the roller tip rockers. The valve cover was not tall enough, and the posi-locks hit. I either had to go with a taller valve cover or use my non center bolt ball milled covers for the older the older style heads. The older covers require an adapter to fit center bolt to edge bolt pattern. That raises the valve cover and the adjusting arm did not have enough adjustment in it to get the valve cover on.
Solution is: 1) Try an adjuster arm from a 72. 2) Buy a flat adjuster arm (Checker or wherever) and put the necessary offset bends in it. (There were issues here as well, as the arc is not correct, so I had to grind some of the arm away to clear the fins on the alternator.) 3) Use a combination of the shorter arm and another adjuster bracket and weld them to make a longer arm.
