IIRC the alternator doesn't matter, it's the style of heater boxes that matters. 72-74 uses a different bracket than the later ones.

70 amp alt. with the 72-74 HE's and exhaust. Hopefully it's one of the two.

the upper one. as said above it isn't the alternator that matters, it is which heater boxes you are using. so the upper bracket is used for '72-'74 and '79 either with the 70A alternator or the 55A.

no nothing to do with the engine(unless its a type 1) its the heater boxs theres 2 types the 72-74 and the 75-79



72-74 heater box= top one in pic

75-79 heater box= bottom one in pic

there was just a discussion on the different systems that I thought was nifty:
