I have four bolts in my alternator bag right now. (My engine is apart) Three are 3/8"-16 x 3/4" with a 9/16" bolt head. One is 7/16"-14 x 5/8" with a 5/8" bolt head. I believe the 7/16"-14 bolt is the adjuster bolt.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I had to haul the tractor to the shop and push snow to get up to the shop.

I have a '69 F100 with a 240.
The large alternator pivot bolt in the upper bracket is 7/16"-14 x 4-1/4" long.
The bolt in the alternator, in the slotted portion of the lower bracket, is 3/8"-16 x 1.00".
The bolt at the inner end of the lower bracket, that attaches the lower (slotted) bracket to the front cover, is 5/16"-18. I'm not certain of its length because mine is bolted up. However, putting a tape on the outside and eyeballing it, it appears to be about 2.00" long, --give or take.

Sorry not getting back on quicker, I was admitted to the Hospital last night.
I got a feeling it's a model issue, what I measured was on the motor in my 70 which started life as a injected motor. I get out of here I will measure the on on my 92 and see what it measures.
