'69 340 Sanden with Bouchillon 4735 Bracket Kit
NOTE: this question does not pertain to '70 up small blocks, I am asking about '69 and earlier. '70 and up and '69 and earlier have different water pumps, diff alternators, diff crank pulleys, diff belt routings, diff pulley offsets etc. In other words comments about so and so did this with a '70 and up setup will not help and does not apply. Again, '69 and earlier cast iron water pump small blocks. If you don't know thats fine, no need to comment so and so did this that and the other with a '70s up setup. Thanks.
Anyone mounted a Sanden compressor using the Bouchillon 4735 bracket kit? It uses a single belt that wraps around crank, PS, and AC Compressor. Classic Auto Air sent me this bracket kit as part of their Original Air Compressor Upgrade Kit:
BPE A/C Compressor Mounting Bracket Kit Small Block W/ P.S - Bouchillon Performance Engineering
I am wondering if this setup will have sufficient belt wrap and not end up with belt squeal like others that have used Bouchillon mounting kits?
Pictures are from Bouchillon web site which shows belt routing.
Anyone have this bracket kit on their '69 and earlier cast iron water pump small block to share experience?
