Replacing the pulley on a FC to fix the belt issues

[Mike Hohnstein]

Nope, it's all lined up. Notice the empty pulley groove on the crank next to
the single PS belt, the dual pulley uses it.The double pulley is specific to BB
only, I can't say if it is real easy to come by. The one they found for me was
a little dog eared.

Mike,
Sounds like what I need to do. Did you have to modify pump mount to align the
belts? Did
Power Steering Specialists do the modifications on your pump?
Thanks for the information.

A new
pump shaft is required and a dedicated Blue Bird pulley. OE on 87 and up. The
two belt
pulley is 6.5" dia., pump runs a little slower, less likely to cavitate.
