HELP... Assembly Question

Hi all... I have a 79 f100 with a 302 & AC.. recently had to put in a new timing chain. I do not have a chilton manual for a 79.

I am at the point where Im putting the powersteering, ac, alternator back on. I am confused on the bolts to use and locations.. does anyone have this information in a blow apart type image that they can share?

Also, here is another question. When startng my truck either with a bump button on the sylenoid or using the key sometimes it hangs up and keeps on engaging the starter I have to disconnect the battery.. what causes this? has anyone else had this problem.
This truck has been sitting for a number of years... PO says 4.. looks like more.. carb was all goobered up with some funkey stuff.. lol.. now it idles smoothly..

Thanks again guys..

C

Sounds like the starter solenoid is going bad. It is quite common. The PO of my truck had the solenoid replaced a month before I bought it.
