hey 74 jegs sells a nice bracket (billet 1 piece) that bolt to head on drivers side head(2 bolts) and will make your life easy. go to their website and look at alt brackets. it should be the first one they show. around $80. as far as the bolts not lining up. my brackets were horrible. the 2 bolts that go to the water pump were so far off, that i cut the parts off and jig welded them back on so they would line up properly. company called TD makes these kits. i callld them up and told them they should be ashamed of themselves for putting these on the market. they said they had problem with the welders not speaking g english(they speak spanish) and the foremans had trouble telling the workers how to make the products,. can you believe that? its true. this was a few years ago. spoke to their tech guy last month about their remote oil filter kit for my vega and i reminded him about that problem, and he said it was solved. from what you are sayIng, they are still maKING JUNK, OR PERHAPS YOU BOUGHT AN OLDER KIT OR MAYBE A USED ONE. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT. ART
