I picked up a cheap one wire self exciting altinator or $68 on line and picked up a good chrome altinator slip braket for just over $20 at my local O'Rilleys and this is what I came up with. It works very well.
The braket
The first step was to relocate the coil. I mounted it with a bolt for the oil cooler on the under side of the intake, so the coil sits behind the intake now.
The next step was to mount the sapport leg of the bracket. I got lucky with this becaue the mounting holes in the braket allow it to be mounted using two bolts of the front cover and it slips behine the hose for the coolant impeller.
Once the leg was mounted I could see if the pullies lined up. On the altinator I got they didnt, so I had to do a little modification to the altinator. The mounting hole on the altinator was to long so I used a cutting blad on a angle grinder to cut it down to the size i needed. You can see in the photo i had to remove about a half an inch to get it to line up.
