Also want to chime in & congratulate you on the great progress. One thing I am curious about is the voltage regulator mount. There seems to be several different ways they are done & just wondering what the consensus is. I see you mounted your Autolite vertically. There is one picture I found in SM radiator section showing it that way but then I see an extra hole on your support which appears to have been used at some time. Mine is Delco & horizontal with the safety cover over the terminals which face up and uses that hole. Looks as if there is no room to go vertically without sharing a hole either and terminals down, would be awfully hard to get to. As far as I know, original way on mine. Looking in the photo archives, there are a couple that appear to be mounted on an angle. Anyone know if they changed by regulator brand or by car model?
