I am moving at a slower pace then I want. So far I have Installed an internal regulated alternator, and the power steering brackets, and pump. I am running into a pulley allingmet problem. My pump is a duble pulley type as is my water pump pulley and alternator. I can not get the p/s pulley to line up .
If I use the inner grove on it it is off by about 1/4-1/2 " on the outer one it is almost off 3/4".
I guess I have to try another Pulley , I have 3 and all are the same, maybe a singel one will do it,

Sal,

What does your pump look like? I tried a rounded neck one, and found one with a flat side fit differently. I still have an old flat one. I ended up using the rounded one and twisted the brackets slightly. Doesn't line up like I would want it to, but it works. I'm finding it doesn't have to be perfect, but I'm sure it easier on pumps and belts if it is.

Hey good buddy. Well I have both. Seems like we have the same problem. I guess close enough is good enough. So How is yours working out?
