Need Some Major Help With Pulleys, Alternator, Water Pump and Crank Alignment
Ok Guys,
I figured I would post a new thread as I somewhat have figured out what is going on with my pulleys not lining up from the PO's great work lol. Now I have some questions and decisions to make. This all started with me needing to replace my crank pulley cause it has a wobble. The balancer is new and spot on, but the pulley seems off center, which makes sense after figuring out the mess I have going on. My 72 C10 350 has a long water pump on it with the alternator bracket now on the passenger side. It has a newer style power steering pump that lines up horribly with the crank. And the crank and water pump have extra pulleys bolted to the front of them. So my question is do I go back to the stock setup with the short pump, alternator on the drivers side, and new (correct) PS pump. The kicker is I will most likely have to buy new brackets for everything, which I have no clue where to get unless I want to go billet. Something has to be done cause this is bad news, so is there any way to keep my current setup but get a different PS pump that lines up correctly, and get later model crank and water pump pulleys? I am lost and need to figure this out so I can start buying the correct parts and get this done. As usual you guys kick ass!! Thanks! Here are some pics of my nightmare:
