I know of a great hardware store so off to get new bolts for the balancer and fan pully... The fan pully bolts are now too short with the spacers and will make sure they dont bottom out on the
fan pump housing once they run through the pully gear....

The wires, that would be way better and will change it.. I did it the way you see thinking the heat would crack them sooner if they were resting under the crabs and on the intake "tunnel floor".

Isn't Kurt running an ATI damper?
The bolts my not be like factory.
The ATI on the 460 takes longer bolt. :read

Great question and call out...... Heres a pic of the balancer, it's a SFI and the paint scrape is for sure me and avery getting it in, not carl.. Felt like a nurse might pop out around the corner in his shop it was so tight.

Just pulled the crank pully off and used a zip tie through a hole and finger in the back to feel when it popped through and it measured .35in... So think from what everyone saying, if I add in a lock washer I'm looking for 1/2" or so length bolts....

I'll head out and post what I find..

Hi guys, almost Merry Christmas already, cant believe it! ,

Made some progress at the end of the day..

Found a good size crank pully bolt that just comes through the back and hit it with a drip of blue locker and 20lbs per...

Also tried to clean up connectuons a bit and used the tunnel to hide where I could . Any issues with heat?

Thank you gentleman on to the next!

Pully's..

Started by swapping the pulley for the power steering pump then "loosely" mocked up everything and noticed some more challenges.

Water pump, received 1 of the shim sets and looks almost there, may need one more 1/16th...

The Power steering pulley, do i shim it out with some washers against the block to get it to hook to the groove closest to the fan?

Alternator bracket, i cant tell from the show-cars pic what the bottom of the alternator seat connects too. Currently, it comes around the front as you can see and then looks to have a hole open for a long header bolt? I may have an issue though, the valve covers are tall and its hitting. Any ideas? (After I get it through mocking up I can clean the parts and make them pretty...)


20181222_115823.jpgator bracket sits on. I have the bracket bottom but so far it only has a connection to the front of the block. It looks like you would use a header bolt for the second, but doing that may not work because of the tall valve covers so may need to rig something up...

Great idea!

In the two pics I have 2 washers between the block and the pully bracket.

The pics are hard to see but trying to show from alternator grove down to the first crank grove.. the gloss black pully seems to be more aligned to the first crank groove, the one closest to the block...

The gray one looks closer aligned to the second groove of the crank, so furthest from the block.

Should I put a 1/2" spacer between the block and ps bracket and use rhe gray one?

I was going with belt to crank, ps. Then belt crank to alt...hope rhats right

Betsy has triple grove on crank for ac but dont use it

You are going to need to figure out how to get the PS reservoir fill tube into a vertical position. In the pictures, it looks like you will never be able to fill it. The pump needs to be totally submerged in oil for it to work correctly.

Power steering pump belt breaks, you can still drive the car. If the water pump belt breaks, you can't. You don't want the same belt driving both. The other reason is that the power steering pump is a horse power hog, so a direct belt driving it will be more efficient

Well there you go Iowa Dave. Now you know why the 62 is so slow. I run both belts around the water pump. :doh

Well after checking the 63 assembly manual, it shows the belt going P/S pump to water pump to crank on the outside groove.
I remember having a P/S belt squeal on a 350 with long water pump set up. I found out I had the belt as would be correct for a 63 409 but wouldn't work on that 350.
