Not much progress this weekend. I bought a new spacer piece that goes between the engine block and the fuel pump bolts to replace the one I lost. It was a little too long so I ground it down to size and ground the edge so it would sit inside the housing like the OEM one did. Bolted that in and tried to attach the vacuum line but ti wouldn't line up. I'll have to adjust the bends in it.
Took the fan and pulley back off, sanded the hub, and reassembled. The pulley still seems a little off compared to the pulley on the generator. Maybe it was always that way and nothing to worry about.
Bought some new bolts to attach the generator, but I don't know which bolt is which in the parts book. I thought I bought the right size one that connects the generator adjustment strap to the water pump, but I am not sure. Seems too long. You can see it sticking out in the pic. I have about 1/4" screwed in so far.
