8BA distributor on 59A engine

[36tbird]

Here's my set up. I wanted to alternator mounted as low as possible and non-adjustable, so I made up idler pulleys. I machined a longer shaft on the distributor for more clearance above the belt. My fan is not pictured, but it mounts on the alternator '36 style. Not on the street yet but everything turns OK and seems to be fine.

I like that you have the stock style oil filter and the AMP Oiler. And a heater!! What are the two round grille like things on each side of the firewall?....Mark
