My daughters 73 c1500 454 blew a head gasket, so like any of us I did some upgrades. Upgraded to a hydraulic roller cam, and some 1.7 roller rockers. Some valves were looking bad so got the 049 heads reworked with new valves, guides, seals and springs.
Problem I am having is when I built it I used some fancy chrome brackets that look great but I never really liked their functionality. So I refinished the originals, but I can’t remember how they all go on. If someone could point me to a nice link or some pictures that show where the alternator and power steering brackets attach I would be forever greatful

I don't have any great pictures handy, but these may be of some use.

Even in that shade of blue those are still some gorgeous valve covers.

That helps a lot esp with the power steering…. Can you tell me where the triangle looking bracket for the alternator connects to the engine by chance

Thanks

Iirc, there's two threaded bosses on the water pump for it, just above where the lower hose attaches.
