I think I found it. But I dont see the idler pulley. Looks like I will need to talk with the original owner.

Been busy! Motor and transmission installed into the subframe.









I tried to duplicate the subframe markings I found.





Installed the shifter and the NOS 3 speed reverse switch.
It sure was nice to put it through the gears!

Well as most of you know this idler pulley was not original to the car. But when it was installed it lined up with the 2nd groove on the water pump and crank pulley for the ac belt. So to me it looked correct. It wasn't until I installed the smog pump I realized the idler was wrong and was installed into the smog pump bolt hole. I have no idea why? So I have located the correct 3 groove AC water pump pulley and should have the correct AC smog pulley this week. I still need the correct diverter valve and bracket for the back of the smog pump. I don't know the part numbers I need? If someone has the correct diverter valve I need I think it is the FG diverter valve and correct bracket please PM me.

Thanks Jason
