Those side handles can be a pain! As my shop is so rural, I prefer to order ahead which is why I am looking for advance information but I just realized that I have a hold-down bracket here at home that I can measure. I forgot I had one here.

Another question, is the generator bracket where it attaches to the engine black or is it engine color? I know the adjuster is black but not sure of the mount.

I belive the bottom bracket is engine color.

Thank you. I know it is on 1954 and prior but wasn’t sure of the V8 cars as it doesn’t mount directly to the engine block.

Sorry, on 56 I am not positive.

But generally, anything that could be mounted to the block before painting was done so. Anything that mounted after after the block was painted, was usually black.
