Hutch the water pump pully holes are slightly off center for bolts you have to eather drill to next size up or drill A new holes as you did with crank shaft pull also the idler pull for belt is off by 3 eights have to shim pull out to line up with tenor pully otherwise will cause belt To be misaligned and rune belt. Also your water pump impeller is the same direction as clockwise look flow makes an impeller that has stright fins with a enclosed back this will work rather direction with 30 to 40 percent more flow not hard to change impeller I did it and took 15 minutes to do. I'm doing this to a 1976 GM motor home with an 455 motor and I'm going back in with with a reverse fan clutch and revise fan that I bought from summet raceing. some times some of us go beyond the box and make some more improvements

Where can I buy the aluminum brakes you show in your video

Davey Elmer says:

OK: that may be the best DETAILED presentation of a rather involved procedure, which, while being a bit of a scavenger hunt, has appeal of assembling something distinctive and entertaining from easily available parts off of other cars – even the custom bracket to make it all work. Doesn't the bracket manufacturer have any video on how to use his product ? How about video of the existing examples of the system ??

Robert Jordan says:

What are the brackets at 3:57 & where to get them?

Hutch you have the patience of all patience. I would have been itching to get this car on the road by now. Keep on keeping on

While shooting this video it would have been fitting to have a picture of Tesla"s coil in the back round. Nice work Doctor Frankenstein, I hope the day will come soon to hear you say "IT"S ALIVE"
