814 alternator. Special thanks to Paul L (HuggerSS) for locating the correct deep groove ps pulley. (Yes, wrong cap on the pump. I’ll fix that)

Also very elusive fast ratio 391 Pittman arm.

That motor is gonna love the 11.3 compression and the 4:88 rear! Hope you have enough vacuum for the power brakes.

Should have. I had Erson do a special grind on the lobe separation and overlap designed to enhance idle vacuum. Now that you mentioned it, I forgot to check the vacuum when I had it running so I’ll have to do that upon reassembly.

Funny thing about this car. As dilapidated as it was overall, when I was looking it over in the field trying to not breathe the raccoon scatted interior, we found the shoulder belts perfectly tucked neatly in their overhead clips. It looked like they had never ever been deployed LOL.
