    If you looked at this picture of my engine you would conclude that I made a mistake. the pump inlet is clearly on the drivers side.



    That pump however blocked my timing indicator from view as it is also on the drivers side. The correct pump is now on with the inlet on the passenger side, this photo shows the new pump

    I got around to finishing the radiator project today, I had to build a top bracket to attach to the body. A piece of aluminum angle worked nicely.



    I added some rubber grommets with metal inserts


    I attached some 3/8” T-nuts to the body on the front side of the hood hinge support


    and bolted the radiator in


    to be continued…

    Rod,

    Looking really good! You should have a full weekend comparing notes with everyone at Homecoming next week. Make sure someone gets you over to Fibber's before you head back home
