    I do not have the pulley. All I have is incorrect information which I have now edited out to save myself some embarassment in 5 years when somebody drudges this thread up. :D

    next issue will be...
    the crank pulley is smaller OD for the alt. than the WP/PS pulley...this will speed up the WP, will this be a problem...:bouncy:

    In the NPD catalog, they list a dual groove water pump pulley, I wonder if that would work?

    Actually, I am!!! I had a brain fart on this one. :oops:

    (3) belts on a V-8 factory AC car.

    - One belt goes around the crank pulley, the water pump pulley, and the power steering pump.

    - Another belt goes around the crank pulley and then the alternator.

    - The 3rd belt goes around the crank pulley the AC compressor pulley, and the idler pulley.


    I know I had a car that had one belt that went around the crank pulley, the alternator, and the water pump. Then a seperate belt for the power steering pump. And then a seperate belt for the AC.

    Anyways.....I now know what Frank is trying to do. If you get the correct water pump pully and alternator spacers....you can set it up to run with one belt that goes around the crank pulley, the alternator, and the water pump. That would be a hard set-up to find all the pieces for. Might be easier to set up some type of idler pulley in place of the power steering pump.

    O.K. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. :D
