It will have to be a Dragon Snake if you want to try and beat "Big Daddy Tony's" Corvette.

Hi Jeff...your car is lookin good. Back in the day the front hubs were
"covered" with red rubber balls which were just jammed in. I've been
looking for those simple balls for some time and no luck so far. Back in
the 60s they were ten cents at the local 5 and 10 cent store. Now even
Toys are Us, which is just crammed with junk doesn't even carry a simple
red rubber ball! What's the world coming to?

You are correct the wife is happy. Was happy I had it in storage to use!
Cannot use rubber balls as the hub center comes to the end.
Guess if you cut a ball in half and hollowed out maybe. These caps < 10 bucks......

Looks good, Jeff. Inside of the garage looks pretty sweet, too.

Alternator plugs show up from time to time in eBay, usually with their charging harness.
You might also try this: Wiring Harnesses - Narragansett Reproductions - Wiring Harnesses and car restoration supplies
and see if they have the correct plug.
Correct pulleys are extremely rare. John at CompClassics had one for sale a few years ago. Contact him and see if he still has it. Other than his, I've never seen one for sale.

Larry is correct...

The plug is like "Hens Teeth" they used to be reproduced however my source no long makes them. Had a few then sold them as I thought I could find more.

The pulley I am told is even harder, its a press fit one piece unit. There was a guy making them and was told he is also no longer going to make them. And his last few in process spoken for. Also = $$$$$$$$$$

Also, the Autolite stamp is not correct for 289 cars....

Sorry, these things are getting harder to find than one may think...
Apologize for being of no help.
