I just learned today, from old notes I had made regarding my pully set, they are from pre 70 model. Here we go again. Dip into the till of money for more parts. Was proceeding with post 70 setup because engine is a 70 model with timing mark on driver side. Only stumbled across notes looking for something else. I'm also running ATI damper assuming pully placement would be stock. I may be milling spacer as well before it's done.
Oh Man,,, I had Several 318s hanging out, one w/ a triangle Alt tensioner/ mount... I ended up going with the one long banana shaped one( thinkn off the 273) it's been So Long, and, well, kinda Frankensteined) I Caint Remember. I do know once I got everything straight with the crap I had laying around, other than having to buy a different bolt kit, from Pro Kits, I've had No issues, Except: I think, cause the Pulleys are from the 66 273 a/c mill, the way I have em ran, requires an odd, non factory belt. The good thing is I have a belt from the crank to the alternator to the water pump and I've got another belt from the crank to the power steering to the water pump
Eventually we all get there. Glad to see you made it. Persistence pays off. Some people have more of it than others. Nothing like looking at misaligned fan belts on a 50K+ car.
My Mopar ain't like that. She's Rust Free, a local Bro did it for another Brother to Auction off a Carlisle Its just a 318, a/c, console, bucket car that I Vandalized....
My car is a 68 Barracuda notchback. /6 with 4 speed OD. 4 speed was added by previous owner. Building 340 in my house for it. Having troubles with pulley alignment now. Crankshaft and water pump off by 1/4 inch. Not sure which one is wrong for my application.
Crankshaft belt center to damper face is 2 inches. Water pump is cast alum. WP pully extends out past damper by 1/4 inch.
Well I put the ATI damper on only because someone commented they had to grind the timing mark off the timing cover. The gods of speed were smiling on me. It's close though. This narrowed my pully alignment issue down to about 1/8 inch. I recall seeing a shim of that thickness somewhere last night. Think it was Mancini.
