Like the title says I am having a problem with my clearance for my -10an turbo drain on the front of my timing cover. Right now I am using a powerbond sfi race balancer and for the fittings I have a -10an weld bung and a 45 degree bend. I cannot find a way to fit it on with enough clearance for the belt balancer and water pump. Do I need to go with an Under Drive Pulley? Or should I get an ATI damper without the AC pulley? What are you guys using and what fittings combination do you have

I don't know if you tapped it already but why not go straight to the pan? more angle for gravity to drain the oil

Didnt drill it yet and dont really want to pull the pan to drill the hole

You can do it with the stok balancer.
I have the stock corvette balancer + -10 fitting:

Thats interesting having it on that angle like that. Can you still get that bolt out?

I have a -12 45* fitting in the timing cover and a stock truck balancer. Not sure if the truck balancers stick out further or not

Stock diameter ati damper minus AC pulley with two -10 drains in the timing cover. Super tight but it fits!

Another option. Use the oil level sensor hole if u don't want to drll/tap pan.
M20x1.5 to -10 AN fitting is what you need.
A 25% UDP works w the -10 bung on the cover. Even 2. 1 per side w a tt.
-10 on each side of the timing cover

That was my last resort is just buy the ATI damper or pull the pan. I got a tight 90 fitting. Im gonna try that n see how it works

I have a stock dia. 02 vette balancer, and the GM Hot Rod oil pan, and was able to fit a #10 in the pan just below the balancer, center of the pan in front
I drilled/tapped it for 1/2 pipe-had to be pretty careful with the meas to clear

I used an ATI Vette balancer (stock size) and didnt install the AC pulley. However I was dumb and drilled one of the 4 little flat bosses on mine, found out after thats where the oil pump bolts are. So I had to use a button head cap screw in that location for better flow. Its pretty tight but the belt doesnt rub or nothing.

I put my -10 drain in the same spot and used a button head on the oil pump as well. Later I did pulled the pan and welded a fitting on it.
