Default '79 Alternator Adjustment Bracket Bolting Location?

Where does the bolt go? Is it on one of the water pump bolts, or one of the holes in the block? Pics would be appreciated.

TIA,

Thanks guys. That's where I have it now. I haven't put the alternator on yet. It just looked a little high. I guess I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I did.

e3pres,

If I remember correctly, there is a thick washer between the brace and the water pump, which must be necessary to make things align correctly.
