New to the forum and completely new to 50's GM era. Just purchased a 1953 Chevy 3100 pickup and I am already addicted! All original except the factory 216 was swapped out for a 235. Not entirely sure on what engine model I have until I get the codes.
The previous owner already converted this pickup to 12v (although I need to run through everything to make sure it's correct). I already read the "dead engine back to life" section which was super helpful. My question is that it doesn't appear the generator is aligned properly with the fan belt. The generator to me seems too far forward. Before I hook anything up I wanted to address all the wiring, belts, hoses, etc. I am guessing this method worked for him as it ran before putting it in storage but I prefer the belt's be aligned properly.
I thought I remember reading somewhere that a certain bracket can be turned around?
