Pic Request - 1969 BB Accessory Brackets Drivers Side

So... My damn computer crashed with all of my photos taken of the engine compartment before dis-assembly.

My car is a 1969 390hp 427. I searched Google images but nothing with any specific detail came up from any of the searches.

Can anyone with a big block get me a pic of the driver's side accessory bracket configuration? I remember "something" going to the upper right hand side water pump stud but I can't tell what it is.

While you're at it... I'd also like to know where the tab for the clamp on the fuel filter bolts up to.

Thanks Again Guys,
Rick

Just to let you know, some computer shops will be able to retrieve your files back from a crashed PC.

The AIM shows what you want. Purchase the AIM and you won't have to worry about hard drive glitches.

Is your computer problem the actual hard drive or the operating system?

Tried fixing the HDD in nearly every way imaginable because it wasn't being recognized by BIOS.

I tried resetting the drive using a ridiculous combination of 2 AA batteries, a modified Nokia CA45 Cable, and Hyperterminal... nothin...

I tried the "put it in freezer method"... nada....

I called Seagate and asked about data recovery... $500

Then I finally bought the same date code and model HDD off of Ebay and tried replacing the heads with some insane HDD surgery and got Click... Click... Click... Click...

So I learned a very important lesson... I'm far better at working on my Vette than I am repairing HDD's.

This is an AC car but I believe the ps, A.I.R pump and alt mounting is the same. The belt routing is different on non AC.

You will see the fuel filter bracket in one of the pics. This is wrong. I got the bracket from Paragon based on their cataloge stating they were used on all cars. It did not fit right and I had to bend the bracket to get it to mount where you see it. After more research in the AIM, found that it is not supposed to have one. I have since removed it. If there are specific pics you need let me know and I can get them tomorrow. Body is still off the frame, but all the belts are on and tightened and all bracketry on.

Edit. Ignore most of the bottom pic. It was test fitting and not everything is there correctly. And the AIM won't help you much if you have an AC car. There is a major error in the manual.

Sorry to hear about your HDD, I know it sucks to have your HDD dead with many important files in it.

this is how my stock 454 looks like, I think the 427 is the same :
