Absolutely not. Don't forget I'm on frame machines all day have a sick daughter and a daughter in band winning competitions. I'm old and tired. But I will get to it!
We know Clutch. I know how you roll. Some way or how you will power through. You can't blame me for giving you a little crap, beings you guys keep dragging my home through the mud because of one bad seed. Now get it done, you have other stuff too do!
 
Short night last night Brian from work went with me or,, I with him we took his truck throne I'm driving gets 4 miles to the gallon. Anyway we stopped at the store and I picked up the upper radiator hose I ordered then went threw 20 minutes of trying to explain I needed a power steering belt and that it only goes around the crank and the pump and that it's a short belt. Not the AC belt I know that goes around the steering too..... He sold me the wrong belt! So I put the hood on and went home. Oh and I put the distributor in 180° out lol
 
Hopefully you have the stretch so much belt experience I have had. The Dayco and Napa belts seem to be high quality but need retightened 3 to 4 times for proper tension. I even had a Dayco serpentine start squealing on the Dakota from stretch. I don't know if I am the only one, actually had to go two sizes smaller than factory to allow for stretch. That is a weird 3/4 serpentine set up on the BBC. Like power steering was an option by the late 80's. Even A/C being separate, most had it, weird. Look at how rare non A/C Olds V8 powered cars were by the 80's. Bet there was a layer of dust on the non A/C brackets on the assembly line.

I think I got the tac and oil wires confused but no big deal I can fix it I still need to check for leaks and tune it but exhaust first so I can hear myself think.
 
Looks really good, how bad is the header hitting? You can hammer it nearly flat and not loose power.
