Engine is out, and on a stand. It is easy for me to install a "holder" on the flywheel in order to torque the pulley bolt. Where on earth did you find the spec? BTW; THANK YOU!

Personally, I'd use these numbers:

Thanks, zoomie! I had a hunch it didn't appear anywhere (???), but now I wonder if using a thread sealer will call for a different torque amount. I think that I'll use 50 lb/ft, and apply a super-thin layer of the old standby; Curil T, to both the threads and under the lock washer. BTW; the pulley bolt was so darn tight that I had to put a bar on the flywheel, and use a 2' long breaker bar with a 4' long piece of galvanized pipe to loosen it. I'm happy that the crankshaft didn't break!

Ta-da! Harness is out. Only have a couple morning hours to work before my garage is over 95F, but the old wires, including the positive battery to starter cable (not pictured) are on the floor.

Progress. Engine not intended to be a show winner, just sweet. Harness going in (red arrow are fuse box connections). Whew!
