So I have the aluminum crossover intake for the NPI 4.6. I was running the stock alternator and bracket for a while, (then replaced the alternator) and ran it for 16k miles), and in this time the alternator bolts broke, and I replaced them. It ran fine for another 13k miles, before breaking again. Now when I went to put it back together, the bracket did not line up, and only two bolts would fit. The third bolt hole is nearly an inch away from where it should be. Upon some research, I found that supposedly with the aluminum crossover NPI intake, the PI intake alternator bracket is supposed to mount up.
Now, I went and pulled a PI bracket off a scrapyard car, and while it fits (with the correct alternator ofc), what looks like the coolant temp sensor is in the way of the left side of the bracket. Is there an actual fix for this? I just cut the bracket around where the sensor would be blocking it, but I was wondering if there's another fix.
