Yeah try someone besides Ecklers. If you are selling parts for restoring of cars, you would think they as a seller of restoration parts could come up with a better idea than "fabricate some brackets. I agree 100% what is with the junk they reproduce these days? does anything fit? I just helped a friend put a 350 into his Camaro- and the only thing he added was headers, what a mess!!! none of the brackets fit that he had bought, we spent most of the day fabricating new brackets for the alternator which would not adjust with this "new" bracket and the pulleys would not line up!!! I remember someone on the list saying it did not matter where you bought parts, they all came from the same manufacturer-- so this is not true? Harlan
