Now that I have removed my power steering pump for my manual cconversion how do I route my water pump belt? Is there a certain setup I need to get to attach to my water pump that has a bracket and pulley? Thanks...
If I'm reading you correct...you will just need to buy a shorter belt for your engine that doesn't have power steering
I have a single belt set up that goes around the crank, water pump, and alternator. The alternator has an adjustment bracket to tighten the belt.
So to route it with the alt and crank I assume I need a water pump pulley that has a double belt option.?.
Yep, or a single sheeve pulley that lines up with the alternator pulley. I've got about three extras like this that I think are what you need, but if you're interested in em, I'll need to check the backspacing with what you need. These pulleys came off 351W and 351C/M/400's.
I just replaced my pulleys with chrome ones and I have the old painted single groove water pump and single groove crank pulley left over. The crank pulley is the 3 bolt version so if that is what you have, they should work for you. Let me know if you are interested.
Mine is a 4 bolt for a 75 351w. I have the single groove right now and it isnt even close to lining up with the alt and crank.
If you have a 351W crank pulley, then you need a W/P pulley from the same application. I have three extras like this.
It seems like Ford made 100’s pulleys for the same engine. I found out the odds are against you trying to find a pulley to match your pulley. It’s easier finding a matching set by getting the pulleys off the same engine. Or do what I did and machine a spacer to shim one of the pulleys.
This is generally true for 302's, but all 70's 351W, C , M and 400's used the same crank and waterpump pulleys, as far as their spacing goes. There were some variations in pulley diameters among these.
