ATI balancer acts like it's installed to far?
 
So I finally got around to firing my car up. After I cut it off I went and looked that blower belt to make sure everything was good to go. Well the blower belt is fine. But the accesory belt was walked foward on the bottom of the pulley. By like 1 rib. That would mean it's installed to far? I don't see how that's possible, but if it is what can I do to fix this? Has anyone ever run into
this problem?

shouldnt be possible unless the balancer was machined wrong, i would check the rest of the stuff

maybe someone else has seen it and will chime in

Yeah I don't see how it's possible either. But I haven't had any of the other pulleys off.

you sure you dont have a Vette version ? I had this issue with an ati damper when i purchased i totally forgot the vette and ls1 are diff. the vette version sits closer to the block

I thought that to, but aren't the vette balancers an 8 rib design? This one is 6 rib...

they should make two, a 6 rib and 8 rib. One for a blower car and one for a N/A, nitrous, or turbo vette...

Is there any way to make absolutely sure it's a vette pulley? I guess it's got to be. I just got done straighting it out. Then fired it up and ran it for a second. Checked, and sure enough it jumped one rib towards the front of the car! God damn this stupid shit is so aggrevating. Now I get to spend another $450 and hope to god I can sell this vette pulley.

I can't see it being the Vette balancer, as we always order for the Vette's the eight rib balancer. The Vettes don't have an outboard pulley bolting to them like the F Bodies, the Vette ProCharger runs everything off the one belt. He doesn't have eight ribs back on his accessory part of his balancer. He is going to post some pictures up which should help. Bob

Theres a couple of pictures I snapped. The first one is looking at it from the drivers side, the second, from the passenger side. As you can see, the blower blet looks to be lined up almost perfect.
