Waterpump pulley
Hi all, my small block used to be an AirCon car which has long gone. So I'm looking for the correct waterpump pulley for non AC.
What I have works but it's not the best arrangement and I'd like to improve on it.
Cheers Dave

Re: Waterpump pulley
unless i'm wrong (wouldn't be the first time) the ac pulley is smaller to spin the pump a little faster. so unless you have alignment issues i'd just repaint/powdercoat what you have. but that's just me, lol.

Re: Waterpump pulley
Without more pictures I could be wrong, but I feel that it is not the Pulley that is wrong, it is the mounting Bracketry / Idler Arm arrangement that is incorrect.ScottyDave wrote: Wed Jun 18, 25 3:48 pm Hi Neil, waterpump is currently driving the power steering atm.

Can you put up a wider picture of the installation, I think the Water Pump should not be on the same belt as the PAS Pump, only with the Crank Pulley and the Alternator. The PAS Belt is a separate (and heavier Belt) arrangement.

Re: Waterpump pulley
Yes Pete, your correct in your assumption. My car was originally AC and I think it would've been,
Crank, Alternator, AC? & Crank, Pump, PS but I honestly have no idea
This has always been the setup its had from when I got it but, I feel it should be Crank, Alternator, Pump.
Again I don't know
It has however always been reliable and never gets hot.
Cheers for any input.

Re: Waterpump pulley
agreed, all the small blocks i've ever had with power steering had that pump driven direct from the crank'.Pete wrote: Wed Jun 18, 25 4:08 pmWithout more pictures I could be wrong, but I feel that it is not the Pulley that is wrong, it is the mounting Bracketry / Idler Arm arrangement that is incorrect.ScottyDave wrote: Wed Jun 18, 25 3:48 pm Hi Neil, waterpump is currently driving the power steering atm.
