Nice looking car....

What type of alternator is in there? It's probably a Delco, and in my opinion, that is an upgrade... though not if improperly isntalled.

Were I you, I'd keep what's in there but get it straight...

Ron will probably jump in here soon... but, see:

I think IPD sells a bracket too.

Going back to an original type alternator might require some wiring, and replacement bits can be hard to find, and much more expensive than a the Delco.

Enjoy the new car!
