Looks like the bottom right spacer is 1/8 to long

Its the hex one right? The round one is the alt. spacer and the other 2 hex ones should be the same length IIRC.

Give me a call, I'll PM you my number.
Not sure about bottom right, as there is only one standoff on the bottom of the bracket.
It is a three piece now, 1/8" spacer, Hex standoff with a shoulder machined to slip inside the small pulley, and a round spacer with shoulder for the otherside of the pulley. Some cars need the 1/8" spacer on the bottom and some don't.

The other hex standoff goes on the top right (looking at it from the front) and is the other standoff for the alternator bracket. The round standoff goes on the top left between the bracket and the main drive idler pulley.

I will call ASter today. Worked on the car until 12Pm last night getting the motor in and the new trans control set up.

I think it is all set. The hex on the alternater (right side looking at the car) had to be ground down to stop the braket from kicking sideways. We used the spacers but could never get it lined up. When we ground the spacer everything was lined up and ready to go. I need to get a longer belt today and I will check.

Thanks For all your help.
