Some of the finishing parts are trickling in now, new belts and a reservoir for the power steering pump. Funny thing about the S/C belt I thought I had a problem with is exactly the same part number (Dayco) as the one I had? It is an extremely tight fit but that is just fine. Even though both are Dayco brand and the same part number, the one I had to start with is made in USA and the new one is made in Italy? Go figure I installed the reservoir and I am a bit concerned there will not be enough clearance to the firewall. It has plenty of clearance for checking oil but not sure about fitting in the car. If anyone would be so kind, I need the dimension from the vertical face of the rear valve cover to the firewall (insulation) I mocked up the exhaust manifolds I intend to use. The front and the crossover are from 20+ years ago and thousands of miles. The rear is a new one I fabbed up several years ago but never used.
