[QUOTE="Maniak87, post: 859491, member: 8954"] i did a lot of searching on this topic and i didnt find much for a solution. i am running the 94-95 accessory brackets on my 408 with the tall FMS pollished valve covers. i noticed the alternator hitting the cover when i first installed it but didnt find it to be much of an issue so i left it. the belt is now squeaking, i thought it was the belt tensioner but i noticed that the alternator is cocked a little bit due to hitting the valve cover. i bought new valve covers that are powder coated black and would really prefer to not have to grind down brand new covers. will grinding down the alternator give me enough clearance? it looks like the small bolt on the bottom of the alternator is also touching and i dont think i could grind that. is there a smaller alternator i can run and still provide enough to charge the battery? thanks guys, i will provide some pics soon [/QUOTE]
