Starting a BB Duster project
Been working on mocking up the EFI engine with a mechanical water pump. I think I have it all sorted out now but it did require some invention.
Trick number one is that I'm using one of my new small diameter 36-1 trigger wheels that is bolted to the back side of a Doty pulley. That leaves the pulley in the stock location and the smaller trigger wheel fits under the factory water pump housing.
Trick number two is a low mount 60 amp Denso alternator. I can go with a low mount since it is EFI so there isn't a mechanical fuel pump. With the fuel pump gone I was able to move the alternator down and in so it fits nice and tight. That makes a nice package in a big block A body car.
Moving the alternator down also opens up a nice window to see the timing mark on the damper. I also developed a bracket for the Holley crank trigger sensor and mounted it on the billet timing cover.
