Alternator bracket upper bolt off with Edelbrock Heads.

[rkohlman2013]

Got my E street heads installed on my 383, but now my bracket for the alternator doesnt fit…any ideas of what upper bracket fits?

That must be a bracket for a 66 and down water pump..

Just from the pic, I bet that bracket would fit a RB engine.

The 2 holes are for B and RB

you need one of these...

It bolts to the head and the top hole will support the alternator bolt...

Nope... You use the outer hole even on a 383.... Just use the adapter bracket... If one hole were for a low deck the variance would follow the same plane as the deck height but instead it moves more side to side than up & down...

Actually after taking another look, flip the chrome bracket & see if the alignment improves...

440 is Top Hole

My 383 with E Street Heads = Bottom Hole

End up here if step one doesn't pan out.
Or get a 66 pump.
Or make some bracketry work as suggested.

I will order some brackets or fab the adapter. Didnt realize 66 and earlier was different. Thank for the info

You might even get away with just enlarging the current holes in the bracket you have. I recently did this on mine - not much filing gives a surprising amount of adjustment.
