So apparently the alternator bracket when tightened down rubs a little against the power steering pump pulley.
I've never encountered this problem before, and I've changed tons of alternators and PS belts on dsm's before.
Bear in mind: The bracket for the PS pump is on correctly. The pump is bolted to the bracket correctly. The alt bracket is bolted to the block correctly.
Anyone ever see an Alt bracket bend for no reason? (All I can think of). It only rubs when the alt bracket is tightened all the way down.
