Pulley HELP
Pulley HELP So I am trying to convert my 6 rib system to an 8 rib and running into some issues. My car is a 71 camaro with a LS2 and a GTO maggie kit.
1. My belt tensioner is one off a 97-present Vette, GM # 12560344. Normally this would be ribbed but I need a smooth pulley on it. Innovators West only sells a ribbed version but they can make me one howeve it would be 3 weeks or so. Does anyone know where I can get an 8 rib smooth pulley for this tensioner? Does it matter if the smoothe side of the belt rides on a ribbed pulley?
2. My Sanden air compressor has a 7 rib pulley on it. I can buy a whole new compressor with an 8 rib on it but I am wondering if anyone knows of a company that just sells the pulley?
3. I bought an 8 rib P/S pulley that came off a 2002 zo6. Apparently the shaft on the P/S pump is smaller then other GM ones so I am trying to drill out the hub to fit on my P/S pump but it is hardened steel so not easy. Where is the best place to find a chrome 8 rib P/S pulley?
Thanks

I had my plastic powersteering pully explode on my swap on a sunday in BFE and i had to do some creative belt routing to get home, including using an idler pully backwards...made it 1500 miles home and the belt/pully looked fine. I dont think you'll have an issue.
ok a bit more of research and I found my tensioner and idler pulleys and looks like my best option for the P/S pulley is to have it bored out at a machine shop.
Now...anyone know anything about Sanden compressors?? Looking to just buy a new pulley for mine??
Or......can I send my 7 groove to a machine shop and have it turned down to an 8 groove?

If you tell me where you got your coil covers I will tell you what you need!
ok, dodge trucks had 8 rib and sanden compressors, so thats the part your looking for, for 150 you can get a reman compressor/clutch on fleabay.. or you can just yse that applicaton and try to find just the clutch!

Not sure where to post this but I assume this thread would have to most pulley knowledge.
Got everything figured out except My Sanden Air conditioning compressor has a 7 rib pulley on it and I can't get an 8 rib for it so my options are to either buy a new compressor or does anyone think that I can have this pulley ground down and a rib added??? thanks
