One thing I forgot to note: I pulled the power steering pump out and when I went to put it back in, I had a tremendous leak since I didn't replace the copper washer seals at the metal pipe connection. Crazy Paul was tremendously helpful in sending me drawings showing the part I needed to get to replace the washer plus how to do it along with the torque values to tighten it to; thanks CP!
Which "copper washer seal" at the metal pipe connection? ...................

Henry, were you having problems with belts with the 3" pulley or planning on going smaller in the future? I see you have non cog overdrive on the back, do you know what pulley sizes you have? I'm thinking of going this route in the future.

Hey Sattler. No problems with the 3.0 pulley. But when we reassembled the motor -- we purposely went to 9.62.1 compression to make it blower friendly. So.....I'm headed to a 2.8" pulley and thus wanted to be sure no slip was taking place .....so this 8 rib setup.
Big credit to Doug H on this one!! Big credit!!!
