Is it a gm 3.0 engine with v belts? If so, there should be a very thin shim in the bottom cast mountnig hole of the alternator. This removes the slop when the bolt is installed through the bottom alternator hole.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
