Another esoteric upgrade

Or maybe it's a retrograde? Anyways, a while back I picked up an alternator bracket off a mid-60's big six that looks a lot tidier than what came stock on the '86 Bronco. Since there's no more smog pump/bracket to clear, I got me a water neck off a similar vintage big six that I think looks much tidier as well. See for yourself:


The old, obtrusive, stock water neck.


New, stylish, retro water neck.


Bird's eye of old, cumbersome neck.


Bird's eye of new, graceful, swan-like neck.

Yippee kai aay.

Very nice! I like that. It's the little things which make a big difference.

Nice! I wish they just came neat and tidy. And with EFI manifolds. And with finned aluminum covers. And...
