    V6 Jose's Hotmail Hacked?

    Hi Jose I just received a very suspicious looking email entitled `Sensual` - it doesn't look right so I wanted warn you and other guys that it might be a malicious hack and not to open it unless Jose confirms its really from him! Hope all is well.

    Why I'm not making progress with my conversion!

    This is kind of an apology to my friend Jose, but also an acknowledgement that `life` gets in the way sometimes! My Alpine still sits patiently in the garage and in the meantime I've grown a family and restored an old pram!

I recall it fits Delco (I have Lucas) but I can't quite see which bolt holes it uses in the block. I'd prefer to mount it on the US Passenger side if possible (my driver side) - originally...
