Note specifically in the 1’st pic below, how close the upper bend is to the slot, also the second pic angle well shows how far upwards the lower bend is from bottom bolt, then compare where the two bends are w/ yours as pic above.

Pete, I had thought about that possibility but I didn’t want to go ahead and rebend the bracket until I was 100 percent confident it was modified. The thing I’m having a hard time believing was why would anyone modify it? And the original owner removed the smog system early on when he started drag racing it. So unless I can compare this bracket to another 67 L78 car to make sure it’s correct I want to hold off on doing that.
The bracket in the pic you posted above is from a L34 I think and that bracket looks similar but the slot is much longer?
It would be awesome if there was someone on this site that actually had a 67 big block smog car that had the bracket and the pulleys so I can compare and put this to rest.
Really appreciate all the help here
