Hi everyone. The saga continues. Here is what I have:
1-dual groove 409 water pump pulley that I bought used.
2-dual groove 409 crankshaft pulley that I just bought at Show cars.
3-sbc power steering pump that I bought the 409 brackets for mounting purposes.
I hope the pics are good enough to see what I am talking about. The power steering pump pulley is out a good belt width from lining up with anything.
The inner crankshaft pulley groove might line up with the inner groove of the water pump pulley. Its close but I don't think perfect. The outer groove of the crank shaft pulley doesn't line up with anything. Its off about 1/2 the width of the fan belt from lining up.
The water pump pulley is included in the above.
Even if they did line up, there is still something wrong. I don't think you could get a match book cover between them. They are that close. Because of the closeness, I don't know how you could ever change a belt without taking everything apart. The new crankshaft pulley measures I believe 6.75 inches. Didn't measure the water pump pulley. I think I have the power steering brackets on properly. Everything seemed to line up (bolt holes).
I also think the harmonic balancer is on properly.
Any ideas, suggestions or pics which be appreciated. Many thanks, Carmine.
