I just looked at my BB and it looks identical..as far as the upper bracket...except my lower bracket is right up against the ALT, is your lower bracket bent? or not the right one?

Looks like you have the alternator on the wrong side of the top bracket? I've had pulleys not line up before. Yep,bracket goes on front !

Having just back fitted AC to a 6 pack motor for a friend....is your idle pulley lining up with the water pump and outer crank pulley? Angle of picture is deceiving. The reason I ask, the small cast 2 hole spacer also comes in different lengths depending on year. Additionally the 4 crank pulley come in slightly different size beside the asymmetric/ uniform hole pattern. 68ish? and down used a 5/8" PS belt, while 69ish? up used the 1/4" belt, which pushed the outer pulley out further. Hence the different spacer piece. Idler and WP and Crank pulleys line up. It doesn't really look like it, but they do. The spacer is irrelevant to the alternator problem, but still could be the wrong bracket. It is likely the bracket that came off that engine when it was in the '76 truck, but the engine is a '69. I can't tell you where all of the parts came from, but every thing looks the same as this kit. https://dantesparts.com/i-30499102-...440-big-block-with-air-conditioning.html

Looks like my 67 383 is way different.

It's the '68-70 kit, I believe. At least part of it is. The idler is too far out upon further inspection so I believe it is for the early setup which has no brackets behind the standoff. That would account for the alignment issue. That doesn't explain the alternator bracket problem. I have a little more than 3-13/16 from the head to the fixed bracket. This bracket was bent when I pulled it out of the pile, but it was clearly not a factory bend.
