Well I finally have the 2 groove pulley on, no I need to finish hooking up the alternator, then add belts make sure it all lines up. Then I can work on the gear.

This is what it looks like. I still need to adjust the alternator. Can youu tell me what belt your using for the crank-water pump-alternator and ps pump pulley? Thanks

Its looking good! The belts I'm using are: Alternator = 15375 and Power steering = 15495. Keep in mind, the belt size will change depending on the pulley sizes. Both my PS and WP pulleys measure 5 1/2".

Well it seems like everything is lining up, I just need to get a longer belt for the ps pulley. 15495 is a little short..

15500 was the ticket! Feels good to have the 1st section completed, now its tine ti take the manual gear out and replace with ps gearbox.

I hope this goes quicker then the first section. I'm considering moving the steering column in 2-3".

Looks good! I think you've definitely got the hardest part knocked out.

Boy that sure was a pain in the a$$ getting that pulley to line up. Like you said, I sure hope the rest is smoother sailing.

What's the best way to knock off that pittman arm? I didn't get a chance to work on it yesterday, but I will this evening.

I'd like to get it off then modify the fender bracket. and bolt it up. Do you know where I can source a the nut that goes on the end pittman arm and holds of the tie rod? The one that came off the manual box goes on and then it stops, I didn't want to mess up the threads. I might try using a wrench to tighten it up to see if it works or not.

Also on the ps gear my manual only had 3 bolts holding it on, do I need to have 4 bolts for the ps gear? It would make since to have all 4 bolted down.
