Alternator mounting options
I have a 64 with a GM crate 383. I ordered side exhaust and stock Ramhorn manifolds from Allens Exhaust.
Mike suggested that both manifolds be drivers side style without the ability to mount an alternator. He sold me a bracket as part of the package but didn't send the bracket. Ive tried multiple times to reach him with no success.
Does anyone know what bracket I need and where to get it?

Both left and right side rams horns could be obtained with the alternator mounting bracket cast in, and if using ram's horns, there is no reason not to do this. (I don't know what he was thinking.)
In a pinch, you can make a Header Power Bracket work by using spacers to get a "flat mounting surface" compensating for the recessed bolts in the manifold. Not as pretty, but it certainly works. You also need the "F-bracket and "J-bar" if you don't already have these.
