Stainless Alternator Tension Bracket

[DMCMW Dave]

Usually when the car chews up a few belts and then is ok, you had a rusty crank pulley (from sitting out in the rain without being driven for a long time). It takes a belt or two to buff the rust off the pulley.

I had to put mine on backwards because the threaded block that does the actual tensioning was too tall for my alternator to swing past. Reversing it was the only way I saw it could work.

Your alternator is the Large GM ( 84 eldorado ) unit. The bracket attached to the Block is probably the Marty Maier bracket he used to sell in order to make make that Alternator work. If you had the stock alternator the bracket would have attached differently. Just pointing this out because your previous bracket was not Stock and so other folks don't get confused when there setup doesn't look like yours.
