Small Block Pulleys

just put an idler pulley in, or put a shorter belt on

Depending on your pulley diameter and water pump used, the belt can run into the water pump neck...saw this on my brother's 340.

He's just dropped the money on a new pulley set from eBay for $80. Yeah, they won't match completely since they're aluminum and the P/S is old dirty steel, but (a) at least he'll be able to run both the alternator and p/s pump...and (b) he'll likely upgrade to aluminum eventually anyway. When I first looked, people wanted real money for the 340 crank pulley...something about $50 for a 45 year old crusty *** pulley that you didn't know if it was actually straight didn't set well with me.
