Need to know pulley setup for a 383 with no A/C
« on: May 18, 2016 - 12:28:57 AM »
Anyone have reference pictures of 383 pulley setup with no A/C and power steering?  I want to make sure I have the correct pulley on the alternator, water pump, balancer, etc.

I recently switched my 440 to non-ac set up.  The alternator should have a single groove, crank a double groove, water pump single groove, and power steering depends if you have a press on or nut.  You have to change all pulleys to get the right dimensions/angles for the belts except the alternator, but it just looks funny.  You can see examples of all the pulleys here - http://store.440source.com/Pulleys-Belts/departments/15/

beware of the ratios....when you change the pulleys......   you change the revolutions of the WATERPUMP  ....  this can cause some strange issues with the
water temp...  ASK me why I know this.....

Dave @ Roseville or Mancini will have all new matched sets this is far easier than digging through 100 of used pullies that didn't work for other people to try to match up a set
