Hey Joe...Why did you swap sides for the alternator when you did the engine swap?
The pictures of the car on the Dealers lot are priceless.

Joe's car was also featured as a members ride here...before it was in Hemmings. There is also a video of his car running at Lions as well!

BTW, I was lucky enough to get a ride in Joe's Nova ...we drove right past the entrance to OCIR.

Joe's a great guy...and the car is soooo cool!

<span style="color: #3333FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">Well Tony, when we did the engine, back in the day, I didn't think I could put the alternator on the &quot;correct&quot; side because the heads we installed didn't have the bolt holes in them like the stock heads did. So I bought a &quot;short&quot; water pump, changed out the pulleys and used the header alternator mount on the driver's side. I changed everything back to &quot;correct&quot; in 1997 when I realized that I could use the stock brackets for the alternator and just put a nut on the end of the bolt that was supposed to go into the head. I had the original water pump rebuilt, reinstalled the original smog pump, added tubes into the headers I bought in 1969 and it was just like &quot;day 1&quot; again (well almost!!). It's hard to see in the picture, but after I had the headers aluminized, I painted them baby blue. Remember when that was the &quot;hot&quot; color for headers, or even white??

BTW, I did go to the Garden Grove cruise night tonight and ended up winning a trophy for &quot;Best Original&quot;!! I was totally surprised!!</span></span>
