Those dang headers are sure close to my wires. Will probably fabricate some heat shields before break-in. They will get red-hot. UPDATE: I replaced this water pump with one that does not have the recirculating connector to the intake manifold and drilled 3 holes in the thermostat housing to give the same effect to allow some water to move even if the thermostat is closed.
Final arrangement of accessories, belts, and mounts. DAMN this is pretty ! The stock power steering pump would not even come CLOSE to fitting in the car due to location of the steering box. Found that GM made this smaller remote reservoir pump for Pontiac Sunbird that worked out perfectly if you find that a standard ham can won't fit your chassis.

This is what was causing that damned knocking sound. There were a number of very tiny shiny spots on the inside of the valve cover. Just taking a casual look at it you wouldn't see the spots. Took the Dremel after them to add just a tad more clearance. I had redone a hydraulic lifter adjustments a couple of times. Lesson learned: Run your engine with the valve covers off even if it spits a little oil to be sure all is correct.
