The bracket to which you're referring only came on A/C cars. Non air cars 
tucked the alternator down lower with the cheaper and commonly available 
brackets (they're all over eBay in Chrome). These will put your alternator 
and water pump on the same belt. If you have A/C they might make things 
difficult.
   Your other options include 70-71 B&E body with A/C, which is holds it 
lower than the earlier setup with an ear off the water pump housins. The 
alternator pivots off a long bolt through this ear and into the head. This 
bracket was made for cars with the later heads, though I think that the hole 
it uses is common to the two groups of castings. The other piece is a cradle 
of sorts that has a dog leg back to the motor mount. You'll also have to 
come up with the odd looking spacer for the water pump idler that goes with 
it.
There's also the mid 70's setup, which won't work with a Federal power 
steering pump (but will work without power steering). I don't recall exactly 
where everything goes, but its a decent setup and my brother is using it on 
the 440 in his '65 Belvedere with an aftermarket A/C compressor (it will fit 
with a V2/RV2 as it did in its original application) and no power steering. 
He got the brackets off a '74 New Yorker 440. If you need more information 
on it, I should be seeing the car this weekend and could look at it, 
possibly even grab a picture or two.

I'm in the middle of determining which alternator backets to use
on the 440 in my 63 Dodge.

Chrysler use a few different seto f alternator brackets during
the early sixties.  One of them was a cast iron piece that bolted
with three bolts to the front on the passenger head and held
the bottom of the alternator.  It positions the alternator
up high.  I've seen it used on early sixties B/RBs,  and this
particular set, I believe came off a 65 Coronet convertible
361 car that had PS & AC.   In any case, I'd like to use them
if I can, but my concern is that the later heads I'm using
(902's) don't have the same provisions for alternator brackets
as the 516 and earlier heads, and only 2 of the 3 bolts will
line up.

Is anyone using this 3 bolt cast bracket on a latter head?
Will the 2 bolts suffice?
