Alternator bolt and spacers!

[mopar400]

Hi there!
I was going to buy the alternator pivot bolt..(mine was missing, had just bolt and nut..)
Ordered it from Year1, got it and it didnt fit at all, whats wrong..?

I got two bolts, three spacers, but I figure that I just need one bolt and two spacers..
The car is a non AC, at least thats what I thought.., could it be that someone has mixed the brackets, AC/NonAC etc please help me sort this out!!

you have a/c car alternator mounting brackets

non a/c cars use these

Ok thanks gtx6970 I guess I need to buy them instead then, Is there something more U need to change or just the brackets?, is the waterpump the same AC/non AC?

There's only one water pump..............for both.

a little bit out of topic, since is not about the electrical question being asked:

water pump? no. Theorically AC cars use 6 vanes pieces matches with small pulley, and non AC cars uses 8 vanes with big pulley... BUT... I never have seen 6 vanes water pumps on later look, which are a little bit "bigger" on the case "nose".

now, water pump housing ?, they change the lower outlet side from 73, although the rest is the same between both and bolts locations are exactly the same.

HOWEVER, I bought a heater nipple kit for my 74 and both niples were diff, and my car got both the same ( bigger diameter one, can't recall the sizes ). Maybe earliers got diff nipples sizes, so then the outlets sizes  ?

neither of these differences, affects the alt bracket locations, just the AC or non AC deal changes them
