Don't bother with emails or calls. You will have much better results sending a certified letter directly to the CEO of a corporation. You can get their corporate address via googling the company. I recently had a horrendous experience at a car rental car outlet, out west. When we got home from vacation I sent an 8-page letter to their CEO at corporate headquarters complete with photos of the 3 hour line, witness contact information, and statements from other customers there with us, who heard the manager threaten the customers if we called customer service on them. I sent the certified letter with tracking and a signature request. Forty five minutes after they received it, (according to the online tracking) I got a call from the CEO apologizing profusely, who immediately refunded half my rental. They also sent a team of investigators to experience for themselves what happens there. They ended up sacking the entire staff who were operating like a rogue bunch of pirates, intimidating and overcharging customers. Very satisfying to know that the guy whose name was at the top of the company list, got directly involved once he knew what was happening at the street level.

So........Continuing on with the A/C compressor mounting .........Again.......I made the same lower mount I made for the LSA engine and when installing it I found out the LS2 had different Belt spacing on the Balancer......I measured the difference and started over today on a revised version........LOL.....Again....this is guess work until you actually put it together and see those clearance issues.......I had the other version draw up in Solidworks so I revised it to be what I now thought it should be.......Here are some pic's of designing and making the brackets......Brought them home and other than some clearance issues with the upper piece it went together perfectly......

Checked off a couple more things on the to do list.....When I first looked at the space available for the A/C compressor.....I thought &quot;No Problem&quot;......LOL.......well I had to go with the smaller SD7 and with that I have about a 1/2 &quot; clearance all around, but....It is in and in it's final position.......No room for a tensioner so I'll just keep the turnbuckle in place.......Had to turn over the upper mount and modify it for clearance for the A/C fittings......but it's all good now........









The next thing to resolve was the Injector/Coil issue........Thru recommendations I bought a set of Holley valve covers than change the mounting position of the coils........Bingo......
