A pillar grounds? Referring to the ones inside next to the fuse box?

Yeah, there is one on each A-pillar. One on the drivers side up above the fuse box (its a pain to get to), and one on the passenger side that is much easier to get to. Both of these points are important ground locations for the OEM harness so cleaning them can only help in my opinion. Mine were a bit oxidized.A pillar grounds? Referring to the ones inside next to the fuse box?
That's what made the bigger difference for me. I added 1/0 cables to ground the block, cylinder head, body and alternator case. Voltage is much smoother overall and starts are way better.Yeah, same with me. Adding the wire helps with charging the battery but has nothing to do with the OEM wire harness. Making sure you have good grounds and clean connections will help with the idle charge voltage at the meter.
Oh that is not fair! I had to do it with a Dremel! Hahaha.I got the bracket milled at work. I bring it home and my calcs were off by .025”.
Right now the alternator is sitting on the back mount face and not the front which is where it should be to line up with the belts.
So how tight does the alternator and bracket need to fit?
Weighing my next move. Take back to work or install?

The back part of the mount is what needs to get clearance, so the front mounting ear positioning doesn’t change. The pulley alignment shouldn’t get altered at all.Is there any chance that this, if done incorrectly or not, could cause the alternator's pulley to be slightly offset and make the belt whine?
