[help]Take a look at my pulleys...wtf?

PolishSasquatch · April 30th, 2009, 07:21 PM

So im noticing from looking at other picturs, my tensioner is wack, as tough it wants to move the other way as its supposed to. And im looking at PS on other 85 motors and it seems the pump is alot higher than on mine, so...whats the deal?

What is whack about your tensioner? It moves upward and is spring loaded so it puts downward tension on the belt. Looks fine in the picture. That looks like an underdrive water pump pulley though. You might want to put your small crank pulley on.

ok im an idiot and just clued in on how a tensior works. I have an underdrive crank pulley as well. So now what size belt? Also, do I have a 351 or 302, because no pics ive found of a 302 have the PS pump in the place mien is...

flattusmaximus78 · April 30th, 2009, 09:42 PM

Your ps is there because someone else deleted the ac it looks like. They didn't use any delete brackets or anything like that. Just a 302 from the looks of it.

PolishSasquatch · April 30th, 2009, 09:59 PM

so to run an S belt, can i move the alternator to the right side, and ditch the tensioner pulley and jsut tense it using the alternator, Or do I need to buy an AC delete kit

cobra911 · April 30th, 2009, 10:04 PM

looks like that they eliminated the polution pump and looks like a 302
The tensionor is suppose to put tension downwards, the ps
looks like it is missing a bracket
have anymore pics?

PolishSasquatch · April 30th, 2009, 10:44 PM

its a 93 lx but an 85 302 4bbl

cobra911 · April 30th, 2009, 10:46 PM

you tryn to get it back to normal?

PolishSasquatch · April 30th, 2009, 10:51 PM

not necessarly, Just need to figure out a way to run some kinda S belt without spending 60 bucks on an AC delete kit lol. I figure if I move the alternator back to where it was in the last pic, i can omit a tensioner pulley, find the length, and then run it just like that

cobra911 · April 30th, 2009, 10:59 PM

are you tryn to do it for more pwr or?
