Finally installed my standard rotation waterpump this weekend.

Went to install the CVF racing alt bracket and found it did not have a spacer configuration to line the alt pulley up with the crank and water pump. Had to reinstall the 1980 255 Alt bracket, did use the CVF adjuster.
May have bought the wrong one, will check this week.

So, can someone suggest a simple pass side alt bracket that will align the alt with stock 5.0 pulleys?

wonder how much it would cost to ship you a pair

I have a stock alt bracket from a 1980 Capri 255 in use, in photo. I may try the tensioner on it to see if it will still reach this belt. This has worked perfectly for 15 years, I finally can afford and want a nicer and more compact setup.

Phone call to March today suggested one of their pass side setups.

Looking for suggestions.
