ok, I'm a dumbass
Ran into so many delays redoing this mustang that I have completely forgotten how the accessory brackets attach, specifically the timing chain cover, water pump, alternator, ps, ac. Theres some normal bolts, some studs, some nuts. Checked out my manual and it was no help, I need a schematic if I am going to get this back together the right way. It is a 1988 GT with a slightly tweaked 302 and a t-5.
Anyone can give me a hand with this? Manual also said to "lightly oil" the water pump/timing cover/head bolts, good idea or should I use something stronger?
Thanks

RE: ok, I'm a dumbass
I just figured out which ones go where by checking the length compared to the holes available. There are several that are shorter=go to the top of the timing cover/water pump. Several medium length=go on sides of timing cover, towards bottom half. I also remember one longer bolt that has a ~2" stud coming out of the head=goes on the long bolt hole on the right side of the timing cover, the bottom of the pwr steering bracket will go over the stud.
That's probably not much help, but good luck anyway!
I had an ARP bolt kit, but ended up re-using some of the stock bolts as well:
