Alternator Question:

I am mocking up the alternator mounting using part of the kit form ERA, some of the 'original' Ford parts and will need to fabricate a spacer and buy one longer bolt.

Any recommendations regarding the location of the electrical posts on the back of the alternator? There is about 3/8" free space between the posts and the valve cover.

One thought would be to take the alternator to a shop, have it disassembled and the back portion rotated 120 degrees counter clockwise, so the two pieces of blue tape line up. This would put the connections further away from the valve cover.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
