Went to install the Alternator and discovered another problem – the lower alternator bracket must go on the block first – before the Air Compressor bracket and fan belt adjuster bracket.

This required taking apart the brackets on the timing cover. The Air compressor bracket wraps around the block and is very difficult to get too with every thing else installed. WORD OF ADVISE _ INSTALL LOWER ALTERNATOR BRACKET FIRST.
