Sup guys,

'83 GMC K1500 w/ 350 here. So after installing a different intake manifold it's come to my attention that I no longer have a bolt hole on said intake manifold on which to bolt the alternator bracket. What's the standard fix for this? Thanks for any ideas.

So I ended up cutting the part of the bracket that bolted up by the thermostat housing and I built some spacers and made the connection to the passenger side cylinder head sturdier. Seems like it'll work out just fine like this. Giants dudes.
