The 68 SBC alternator was mounted to the drivers side ramshorn exhaust manifold.
If you are not running the ramshorn, check Summit for aftermarket mounts for headers. They sell a bracket that mounts to the exhaust manifold bolts.

all 68 (and older) SB heads do not have accessory holes.

Ok, now. Since I'm going to put an eletric water pump on it and not running a power steering pump , how long of belt do I need to run from the alternator to the crank pulley?
