Expert 5K+ Posts: 9787 Location: So. Cal | Very nice car that I would love to own, but that air cleaner has got to go. I know why he used it, to match up to the Holley Sniper EFI underneath it. But it's pretty easy to weld a larger carb opening onto the original air cleaner like I did on my Savoy. Also, matching the ps pump to an alternator that looks like a generator would have been much more aesthetic. But really, if you don't need the amps for a high power stereo or other stuff, why do it? It's just messing with things without reason. Does the EFI system require the alternator?

But really, if you don't need the amps for a high power stereo or other stuff, why do it? It's just messing with things without reason. In my case, the reason would be to better expose the D500 engine (the alternator/Vickers PS pump is much shorter than the OE generator/Vickers PS pump combo). I like the exposure that Wayne's 57 D500 double rocker gets with his combo. I have tried contacting Wayne to ask whether he could (please) share the details of that alternator/adapter plate/Vickers PS pump combo. So far, no reply.  You might remember I chased this approach before after I found a 56 Chrysler Windsor (poly head) that had alternator/adapter plate/Eaton PS pump. I figured the alternator was from an Izuzu diesel that normally drove a vacuum pump from the back of the alternator but I never found out the details of the adapter plate.
