Reply to "Water Pump Pulley"

I'm not aware of any, Jon, but hot-rod supplier March may have one somewhere in their dress-up kits. As for converting to serpentine belt, be careful. Some suppliers use cast aluminum pulleys for this that can and have cracked in two during normal driving. Aluminum plate is much stronger and INHO if you have a small lathe available, such pulleys are easy to make and do save a few pounds both in weight and in rotating mass. I made a crank & waterpump vee-belt pulley from 6061 T-6 aluminum that has worked fine for ten years. Built in a certain way, custom pulleys allow you to set the alternator back, which then allows a flatter firewall bulge and the passenger seat can go back to the firewall.
