You need a stud bolt on your intake for the alternator bracket. Not sure if this will help. Bracket looks correct.

Ya, your bottom bracket is on upside down. Just need the bolt and spacer/sleeve to go through lower bracket and alt. The upper bracket normally sits down on a stud in the intake. All the others are bolts in the intake except that one. However, you have an aluminum intake and they are sometimes thicker than the steel ones so you may have to use a bolt. I know if I try to use a stud it lifts the bracket too much and it won't line up properly.

Good catch Hank, I didn't pay attention to that one.

That's looking really good. :banana::banana:

Don't forget to put a washer under your top bolt that you use to tighten the tension up with.
