Re: [Amc-list] Delco Alternator Swap 70 V8

1-2 inches shorter may not fit at all. When I put a Delco alternator on 
my 68 American with a six, it hit the power steering gear box. A half 
inch shorter belt fit perfectly.

I am assuming that the reason you are so close to the oil filter is that dimensions of the single wire alternator version are larger than the stock alterntor so that when you pull the belt tight the outer case is pressing up against the oil filter.  If that is the case, a one or two inch short belt should do the trick.
