i think the hq type requires the alt to be run up high, above the motor in LH/LX.

there are lots of pics posted in other threads, but basically the torana one sits on the O/S down low near the fuel pump like a commy one and HQ site on the N/S and further out near the oil pump hence needing the alt to be turned up when fitted to a torry.
just buy a torry one to save yourself the trouble.

Not sure if these are good enough for the detail you require chevy but here are 2 shots from the front and the rear of the bracket I have which I believe is not standard but I have no idea what its from.

yeah you will need to get a torana one. The Hq ones might work but u need to worry about a few more things... Plus the torana ones look so much better all tucked away...

This is the one currently on my engine

the last pic looks like a modded HQ to get it to sit lower.

EDIT; no hold on your right, its just dodgy.

my 253s fuel line runs up the front of the head where the alternator brackets are

would this foul with the bracket and will i have to get a new different styled one??
