March Alternator Brackets and Pulleys

[brainbugnj]

Hey folks.... a couple questions...

I have a 69 351W, Summit Timing Cover, Edelbrock 8843 water pump, Edlebrock RPM Heads.

I bought the March 1610 (MCH-1610) Pulleys, they are fine, but I didn't know I needed an extra spacer (looks like about 5/8) for the crank pulley... has anyone run into this? I do have a street damper (cheap fluid dampr).

Also the March Alt Bracket (MCH-30055) will not line up at all... its way too far off to try and weasel together.... the spacers on the bolts from the bracket to the water pump are all wrong, bolts are too short (I can deal with this but just new bolts will fix this, me thinks). When I bolt up the two bolts on the water pump the bolt to the head for the alt mount is angled way too much to weasel... anyone have these issues?

I have an email into March on this stuff but I am anxious to hear others opinions/experiences..

looks like someone else was having the same issue about 1 year ago but there was no resolve posted.


Thanks!!!
Steve
