Thanks for the compliment 67cruiser.

The water pump bolts as well as many others are all from a 12 point stainless ARP Pontiac engine bolt kit.

I do have the 4 forward most oil pan bolts secured into the timing cover. The open holes you see on the bottom of the timing cover are at the end of, for lack of a better term "ears" on both sides that extend out from where the oil pan bolts to the cover (best seen on photo #2). I have no idea what they are for. Maybe someone who knows will chime in and enlighten us.

The pulleys are from a March sepentine belt conversion kit for Pontiac. Along with the altenator and P.S pump. Available through Summit.
