Glenn,

Looks to me like I see the threaded hole that's eluding you. In your picture it is in the ~8:30 position and approximately 2" from the center. Maybe this is a sign that you are not meant to have a spacer and bolt and should send it to me since I too am in the hunt for one - hah.

Look again and I think you'll find it.

...trust me, that thought crossed my mind...I do not understand as the hole does not take a regular size bolt...and it looks as though its never had a bolt in it..the assembly manual calls for a 1 3/8 bolt..I am like where do I get this..for laughS I remove the rear water neck bolt...guess what?!..its 1 3/8...I can get a repop kit from Inline Tube that also includes the correct slotted nut for threaded water neck stud...I have the original alternator #matching....NJSTEVE, you once posted a photo of your rear alt. bracket bolt removed with the spacer...a measuring tool was in the photo...I have looked at every thread and cannot find that photo...if you could find that and repost it here it would be much appreciated....BOB, according to the assy. man...you need a 5/16-18-1 3/8 bolt,lock washer 5/16 and a flat washer 5/16 ID X3/4 OD...and a spacer 11/32..when I get my parts I will post pics..not certain how this will all work out

....there is a threaded hole..although it looks like it was never used...it takes a 5/16-18- 1 3/8 bolt...I made a mistake as my water neck bolt is the correct length, its not 5/16..so I am making progress..thanks for the help....NJSTEVE,thanks for posting those photos..that is exactly what I needed!...thanks!!

I can't seem to find the bolt measurement photo so I will take it again and post it.

thanks to P.Y. MEMBER OL PINION HEAD I have a rear alternator bracket and spacer, the spacer is the same ones used on the power steering pump (available in repo kit for $39,not good MOTORCITY MUSCLE CARS)..I installed the clip where I believe it should go..however that causes the connector to be to short to plug in..I can easily lengthen the connector an inch or mount the clip differently for greater length..plus I am still hunting down hardware..it seems wherever a regular washer goes, I got a lock washer instead..I have measured every bolt and it matches the assembly so far..as for lock washers its probably whoever assembled it..as all parts are similar in the general vicinity..I know, complete madness..
