the top one i dont know what it goes with

the second one puts the bolt all the way to the last bolt on the cast adaptor and bolts through to the block

the thied does not reach any of the holes on the adaptor.

The second one is a close after market version and should fit

First one - no clue

third one is for the A/C With PS

# 4 might be close for the lower arm - doesn't look long enough though.

# five not 71-3 Mustang

Agree with Don. 2nd one should work and the 4th one needs to be longer and a little more curve to it.

If the belts are still not lining up, let's measure your spacer behind the alternator and bolt length. The front bracket merely hold the front firm. The belt alignment is dictated by what's behind the alternator. Also are the other pulleys and brackets factory for

I will look in my bin of parts at home. I think I may still have the 302 hardware and brackets from my original motor. If I do, you can have it all.

I could put washers behind the spacer for the second one to work I guess but the issue with that is the belt length may not be long enough for the alternator. That's not to bad tho because belts are cheap. And as far as I have been told the brackets and pulleys are all original. And if you do have the bracket turtle I would gladly buy it if I can't get this to work:thankyouyellow:
