460 Help Please
Have a 55 Ford Truck and a 460 Big Block came in it....Had machine shop bore it and and blah blah blah....Anyway brought it back home and Cant figure out how the Alt went and wasnt smart enough to take pics at the time. Cant tell you what year it is(How do you tell and what do Numbers mean when I have them) but machine shop said its early 70s....Anyway Can someone tell me how the Alt hooks up with what brakets....I included some pics...Any help would be greatly appreciated..........

On my 72 Merc with AC,PS I do not need all that you show. Hole 2 in bracket 5 goes to #2 on engine. You should have access to another bolt through the big hole.Hole 1 in bracket 5 goes to # 1 on engine.Bracket 6 goes behind it with the adjusting slot down to the outside, then the long spacer to #1. The bolt for the top of the alt goes through hole 4 in bracket 5 then short spacer to #8 on engine. I have an idler pully only on the AC. Each system has its own belt on my assembly.
