Default REAR ALTERNATOR BRACKET MOUNTING

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..Click image for larger version

Has anyone seen one of these decals with year printed on it.. Funny, it says 72 Trans Am, when the 70 & 71 is same.
