I'm installing everything on this 383 for the first time. I put the alternator on the motor yesterday. The alt pulley is not lined up with the water pump pulley. So, I'm thinking that the routing for an A/C car is like this:
The 2 belts for the 2 groove pulley on the Alt connects around the 2 grooves on the A/C pulley and then down around 2 grooves on the Crank.
The 1 belt for the Power Steering pulley connects around the Water Pump pulley and around the Crank.
I'm not installing an Idler pulley so that would leave 1 groove empty on the Water Pump pulley and 1 groove empty on the Crank.
Correct?
I dont think thats right
First 2 belts as you say.
The next is power steering pulley by its self.
The last is idler and waterpump. The power steering pump and waterpump pullys dont line up. If you dont install the idler pulley, how are you going to take up tension on the water pump?

He may have a deeper pulley which would allow him to use the power steering for fan belt adjusment. We don't know if he has all factory original parts until he replies as to the alingment of the pulley grooves.If he has the short pulley then he will have to have the idler.
Which deeper pulley ?

Just so there’s no confusion, the 3-belt shared P/S-water pump configuration (as suggested by Bouchilon) did NOT work for me. The original BB A/C configuration with the single grove water pump pulley driven directly off the 4-grove crank pulley (with idler) resolved my belt slippage problem.
You can’t use the two grove w/p pulley in the 4-belt set-up as it interferes with the belt path for the crank to P/S pump belt.
So the pictures you posted are the old way you had it, and the way you have it now is like the pic that DJE posted above?
