and i did look at the belts again and the water pump pulley is not alligned like the rest of them they all line up except that one it needs to be pushed out 2/8 of an inch so i need to find some type of space that will fit behind it to push it out

As I see it, the water pump pulley is either the wrong one or there was originally a spacer behind it that someone forgot to reinstall. That wouldn't be hard to duplicate or find. Call these people, they have lots of parts for that car and know about them too. They should be able to steer you straight.

As for the carb, the Edelbrock is not original to that car. There must be an adapter plate under it to change from the Rochester profile to the Edelbrock profile. Again, ask Year One about that carb.

I know the service doesn't pay a whole lot, but that particular car is worth a few bucks and desirable. You may have to just do enough to keep it running for now, and then later on spend some money to do a proper repair/restoration on it.

Post up some pictures, we love em. Btw, what cubic inch is that Olds, a 455?

Sgt Wilson,
Thank you for your service, it is very much appreciated. When you say "white fin" I think you may be referring to the spoiler across the trunk as shown in this picture? If you google "1969 hurst olds" you will come up with lots of links to other enthusiasts, including at least one club dedicated to your model. Here's one guy that seems to be a "clearing house" of information, and like Don advised, Year One should be a good source of parts and information, too.
