Alternator Upgrade

I had begun to investigate converting to an alternator some weeks back and gathered some brackets, wiring and diode setup for when the time came. I started working on it seriously today. The universal bracket looks like it will work the best, with some modification. It seems it will bolt onto the intake manifold in the same location as the original generator bracket. However I will need to raise it up a bit using some spacers. I had been planning on it needing a longer belt if I were to bolt the universal bracket to the old bracket instead of directly to the manifold, but now it looks like the same or a slightly shorter belt will be needed.
