I made a post on v8rx7forum when it was still up, a guy post pictures of a setup he uses... but I didn't save the pictures.

It was one of a guy using a 6 Rib Pulley (above the alternator) and some belt from Advanced Auto Parts. Would be great to find it within a week and a half because my car should be finished by then.

Found a pic and labeled how the guy did his setup, I need to know what size pulley and belt was used.

 

I removed the power steering on my car and also took out the idler pulley under it. I'm running a 51.5" belt but couldn't tell ya what the part number is

 

It scares me that it is barely touching the water pump.

One guy said he had been running for 2 years like that though.

Update :

Guy just posted the picture over on norotors.com

 

i can't imagine how it would be like to steer an f body with no p/s and 275 tires up front. you would have to ask the passenger to help out

 

I have a PS delete bracket alternator relocation bracket for sale for 100 shipped.
brand new.

No PS is a bitch, I deleted my belt and drove 40 miles to the track. What a mistake.

but I went from consistance 13.12s to 12.92s

 

My car has been like that for a little over two years now



It isn't that bad with 15x4s up front

 

Hey cool post. I am doing a 48 chevy with 08 ly6. I have been searching for ideas on alt/water combo. Do you have any idea if i can find alt brackets anywhere to pull this off? Thx

 

spray the belt with belt dressing(stickem)from time to time if racing or high rpming.

 

The belt # you need for NO power steering and NO idler is 5060525 Dayco Belt. You would also have to remove or grind the top Alt bolt......

 

does anyone know what headers are in the pic ?, they look like they will fit in my very tight engine bay lol

many thanks

Finlay

 

bump !

what are the above headers ?

thanks

Finlay

 

So there's no harm in running without that idler pulley and without the top alternator bolt? I am considering doing it your way. Please let me know. Thank you.
