Need help on where the alternator bracket goes (bottom mount)
 
1985 GSL-SE 13B

Okay, where exactly does the bottom part of the alternator bracket go?

I've been spending the last few days putting new parts back on; water pump (what a PITA. I prefer a Chevy 262 4.3L V6), thermostat, power steering pump, and smog pump. Now, putting the parts back together is proving to be a real pain. :wallbash: And, I think I'm missing a couple bolts. Anyways, I have the alternator on correctly (I check a few photos of mine that showed the top of the motor) but it's where the bottom part of the alternator bracket bolts to that has got me confused. :Wconfused:

Can anyone either tell me (detailed) or show a picture?

And, now I'm going to be buying stock in Ziploc bags, masking tape, and black markers. <---Apparently, even putting the bolts back in the holes when you remove a part doesn't cover everything. :icon_no2:

The two ears fit over a "lug" on top of the water pump housing. There is a spacer to take up the space difference in the ears and this "lug".

The adjuster bracket goes on one of the bolts that holds the water pump to the water pump housing.

Any idea which bolt on the water pump that would be?
