Hello Everyone,
Back in 2006, I installed a serpentine belt setup on my 1970 AAR 'Cuda. (That's a 340 six pack engine, just in case any of you aren't familiar.)
It has a low mount Sanden AC compressor where the mechanical fuel pump would go. (I switched to an electric fuel pump.)
This is important because it allows you to have Air Conditioning along with your six pack carb setup.
The car also has power steering.
I've been enjoying having AC and a six pack in my car.
The serpentine setup came from The Bracketman.
It's pretty much like the one in this link, except serpentine instead of V belts.
http://www.hemibracket.com/340_six_pack.htmUnfortunately, that guy has retired, and I've developed a problem with my power steering pulley.
The setup used a press fit metal bushing to adapt an OEM pulley to fit a Saginaw power steering pump.
It seems that my bushing is worn or something because stuff is a little wobbly there and it's starting to eat belts.
If I can't manage to fix it, I'm considering replacing the whole serpentine belt setup.
Any Suggestions?
What's available for small block mopar serpentine belt setups these days?
It needs to have a low mount AC compressor so that I can keep my six pack.
A belt tensioner would be nice.
I'd really prefer it to be unobtrusive plain black.
I don't like the look of shiny billet stuff in my engine compartment.
