Hello all I have posted much here, but I have been utilizing this site for tons of info since I started this project so let me start off by saying thanks for helping me even though you didn't know you were doing it. That being said i have run into a few problems that I can't seem to find an answer through searching so here it goes.
1. I can't seem to figure out how the power steering pump mounts, I have the bracket that sits behind the pump but I think I am missing something that would mount/space it out off the block. A picture of a pump/mount on a hot air car would be very helpful.
2. I am missing the nuts that samwhich the upper A arm bushing into place and I can't seem to figure out what size they are.
3. I know the block was prepped for a oil feed line for the turbo but I can't seem to find it, what is the common place that is used?
Thanks in advance for the help. - Carl
Back story if anyone cares to read it. 3-4 years ago a friend and I picked up with project from a boat mechanic that was moving out of the area. The previous owner had bought the car from a little old lady that had barely driven the car. He started with a frame off resto doing the whole frame in POR-15 and working up from there. When we picked up the car we took over by stripping the body and painting it boulevard black and building a custom turbo setup using the hot air headers as a base. We mounted up a 60 trim turbo with a 3" downpipe. For air into the intake I fabed a plate that mounts where the stock turbo would with an elbow that turns so that the factory throttle body can be mounted in close to the stock location. All I have left to get the car running is to install a new gas tank and straighten up some wiring.
