Well I do have the pulleys that are correct, according to the manual on the First Gen Site, someone was kind enough to list. I didn't care if I had the correct numbers for the sake of having the correct numbers, but was having trouble lining everything up so the belts were straight. Black Judge may be correct, the brackets may be from another year/car, but they are also 50 years old and have some wear. A shim/washer here and there is required to get the pulley grooves all on the same plane.
I've had to take the alternator off a few times the last few months chasing down a rough idle snag. Everytime I loosen the thermostat housing nut I get some antifreeze on the lip of the valley pan. I suppose I should have gooped up the housing and gasket, but I like to leave them bare as it's easier to clean up incase the thermostat has to be changed. Do you have the special stud on yours? This hasn't bothered me in the last ten years, but I haven't had to loosen off the housing nut before.

I'm still amazed Black Judge can tell all that from a photograph.

I suppose I should check if someone needs a six cylinder pulley, wasn't the pulley that wobbled but the spacer behind it.
Hmm off topic again.
