I heard that underdrive pullies are bad for 5.0s. Heard that it doesnt turn the alternator fast enough so not enough amps get to the water pump and the engine can over heat.


Also dude your gonna have get bigger pullies if your gonna supercharge it.

Im speechless. Please tell me that youre being sarcastic.

Heres a link directly to the March Pulleys site all about underdrives. Underdrive Pulleys Read up, it should answer any questions you have about underdrives.

i fixed it guys, thanks for everyone helps it was i guess the timing or maybe it was 180* out, i dont know but what i did was a took the distroubtor out and rotated and droped it back in when i started the car up, the rpms shot to 2,500 and idled there, so i droped the idle to 750 and reved it and it only reved upto 4000RPM so i turned it some more, and it shot up to 1500 again and then i driped the idle down and so on, no one said anything about pulling the spout connector when doing this, so im glad i found out befor hand
but thanks guys yall were alot of help
