I bought a front light harness for my 67, and found out that because my alternator is on the passenger side, the wiring for the alternator either needs to be spliced and extended, or I need to find another harness, that with reach. I have a 67 STd set-up with warning lights and a external regulator.
Any suggestions

Is your charging system not hooked up yet? The 69 setup has the passenger side alternator, with the regulator still on the drivers side, but I doubt the harness as a whole would be compatible with your car (for one, you don't have side marker lights). Splicing and extending, or "borrowing" some wires from a 69 harness, is probably your better option.

 

Why not buy the right brackets and mount it on the drivers side then everything fits..?

 

With the short water pump, you have a drivers side alternator. With the long water pump, you have a passenger side alternator. No doubt, this is the setup he has. Mounts, brackets and pulleys are specific to those two water pump configurations and aren't interchangeable. He would have to change water pumps and get the corresponding pulleys and brackets to put the alternator back on the drivers side, which is another (costlier) option.

 

Since you're only talking the alternator wires, I solder, heat shrink, and extend them. If done properly they should look clean and work fine.
