Default Upper Alternator Bracket for '67 L78 Chevelle Same as Camaro?

I bought a set of alternator brackets from Ground Up a long time ago, but as I get closer to my '67 L78 engine build, I'm learning that some of the parts I have aren't the best choice, or they are not correct for a '67 BBC, such as the upper alternator bracket.

In '66 this bracket had a small bracket welded on for the throttle return spring, however this return spring bracket was eliminated for 1967 Big Blocks, as the throttle return spring went to the rear and attached to the coil bracket. Of course the repro I have has the return spring bracket and it's not correct for my build.

I found a nice bracket on ebay that says it's a correct GM Replacement for a 1967 Big Block Camaro, but it says nothing about being also good for a Chevelle. It looks exactly the same. The seller says the manufacturer doesn't list that bracket he sells for the Chevelle however.

Well, now I know mistakes are made, and often research needs to be done to get what's right. But I tend to think a Big Block '67 Chevelle & a '67 Big Block Camaro would share many of the same parts.

I've also read that some of the repros don't have the heavier steel like what the original brackets had, so I'm leaning toward this GM authorized '67 Big Block Camaro bracket for my build.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for any input on this!

John
