I cannot find any of my alternator bolts and spacers. Could someone tell me how long the bolts and spacer are? Regular 60 amp alternator, standard late 60's brackets.
Thanks.
I used to care but....... things have changed

The brackets are different between the B and Rb engines.
Ummmm, no there not
The difference is where the upper bolt passes thru the triangle bracket between B versus RB engine., Thus the 2 holes on the one end

What kind of alternator are you running? There was no regular 60 amp alternator - Do you have a Leece Neville alt? Those use completely different brackets.

There are two different bracket sets for BB and have to do with a difference on where the bolt by the thermostat goes. The two holes in those brackets don't address that problem. I ran into that with my last 383.
Unless you have some kind of weird water pump housing and/or heads the 383/440 bracket is the same - by same year.
