66 - Alternator bracket - tip or trick

[Stephen L.]

on a BB, i can't figure this one out - there is a stud coming out of the power steering pump...and one that also acts as the final ex manifold bolt/stud - if i put it one first ... can't get it on the other - and vice versa

is there some trick position to get this to go on both studs?

thanks!

Stephen, I can't picture it and no AIM handy, but is it feasible to double nut the ex manifold stud, remove it, attach the bracket in place over the stud hole, then wind the stud back in and remove the double nuts?

Stephen,

Sorry but I can't visualize this problem but if you posted up a picture maybe someone can help you. I have assembled a couple of 66 BB Corvettes and never had a problem.
