Hi Jason, yes I think I have it figured out. I need to make some tweaks to the upper brace. I found another 1967 K20 on the Internet that is original and it also has the brace mounting to the intake. Additionally, with the alternator being clocked correctly now, I seem to have enough travel to get the belt tension correct. Another issue that I have with my existing alternator is that the bottom bolt hole is wallowed out a bit and the steel bushing / sleeve that is in it is pretty worn as well. This makes the alternator deflect quite a bit which is what I believe is causing the pulley to not fully line up. I am going to get a new alternator and do some more tweaking to the upper brace and see if that fixes it.
