Looking close at your first picture it looks like the gen rides about level with the pass side snorkel of the air cleaner. Would that be a fairly safe assumption? Thanks.

I will measure it tomorrow for you, but it's a safe assumption. The hood pads even have a cutout in them for the pulley.

Cut out in the insulation makes sense. Mine doesn't have that but it's a repro piece I didn't put in. I know the clearance will be tight and can't see that there is enough space for me to be very far off with the first try for the bracket. If you can get some measurements it will help. Maybe I can leave the bracket as it is.

Damn, I like the looks of your car.

I put a flat alum bar across the air cleaner. Carbs have a phenolic spacer under them I think 1/4" thick. There is about 3/4" between the bar and the pulley. Hope this helps.
The white vinyl keeps the hood pad from scratching the air cleaner. Apple photos are not friendly when it comes to displaying them.

Thanks lilabner. You the man.
That's just what I needed. I think I'm about at that point with what I have. Will have to put the home made bracket back on and look at it again. Probably next winter - don't want to take it apart now. Not that big a deal but there is not much of a hurry.
