Need more help re: 440 conversion from A/C to non-A/C V-belt drive
I did install all the brackets, pulleys and bolt sets that I got from 440 Source, but I must be doing something wrong with the P/S pump.
First let me say that the way the Chrysler engineers set up the V-belt drive on the non-A/C 440 was pretty slick. The two grooves on the crank pulley are of different diameter, and the water pump and alternator are driven by the inside pulley. The W/P pulley has only one groove. The P/S/ pump is supposed to line up with the outside groove of the crank pulley and be direct-driven. That's my problem.
I've got the W/P pulley and the alternator aligned with the inside crank pulley groove, with almost no problem (see pictures; I did have to grind the ridge off the OE W/P mounting bolts in order to obtain enough clearance for the W/P pulley). However, the P/S pump pulley aligns more or less with the inside crank pulley groove, too. No go.
Am I using the wrong P/S/ pump pulley? Or am I supposed to move the P/S pulley over somehow? Maybe space the P/S pump over?
Sure would appreciate more advice. If nobody knows, I'll call 440 Source on Monday morning and ask them.
