As Walt said you can move alt bracket forward by drilling new holes if you need to you can weld a new strap on the old bracket to make it work. I run a serpintine belt so had to make all brackets. It is easy just look at stock bracket and decide how to modify or make new that will work.To quote John M "thats how we did it back in the 50s"
Good luck and if you make your own it will be something to be proud of.
Been there, Done that, Hope to live long enough to do it again.
