alternator/power steering, correct alignment of belt ?

Post by rjewkes »

Hey guys been a while since i had a BB/FE wondering wich accessory should line up with wich pulley groove? 2 groove crankshaft and 2 groove Waterpump.

the way i have the alternator now is fine on the outer groove, but i noticed yesterday that if i put the P/S pump on the inner Groove, it will rubb the lower radiator hose in half.

i have a big old spacer on the alternator that cuases it to reach the outer groove and bolt on outside the arm with the adjustable area.
