Belt Conversion

I got a 400K6, same length as the other belt. It could be longer because the alt is not even to the halfway point in the adjustment range.

Dennis, that looks really nice. Been thinking of doing it to mine. Now I know I need to.

thanks guys, i'll give them a call after the holiday...frank...:bananaman :bananaman
p.s. is this a stock type belt that can be bought local or will it have to be from march?

 

March pulleys w/ P/S

I have the March set w/ P/S. I think I had to get it as an extra not included in the kit and it was about $80 more for the P/S pulley. 74Maverick, Thom

 

I picked the belt up at Auto Zone.

 

those numbers Dennis posted on the belt size translate to a 40" 6 rib belt...could probably go with a 41 or 42" if there's that much adjustment left in the alternator

 

Here is a pic of my Maverick.

 

Attached is a pic of my engine compartment.

 

Here is a pic of the 302 fully assembled w/ March pulley set w/ P/S.

 

Great lookin car and engine there Thom, very nice....How bout some closer shots on the engine...us old guys have a hard time seein from that distance. Any pics would be good...kinda like havin a mini meet right here on the board..makes for a good exchange of ideas and thoughts.
Thx Rick

 

Thank you, yeah I actually had my mom the puter wiz come over and give me a hand. I was having a lot of problems trying to get the pics scanned. I kept going over the alotted bytes. I had to cut the quality and then crop the pic, ahhhh! If you can give any tips on scanning the pics it would be greatly appreciated. The fact that my mom and I got them up there was a deffinate accomplishment. So I give my mom the nanaman/clap combo.

Thanx, Thom

 

it depends on the program your using to view the pics...right click over the picture you want to downsize...click edit...this will open the pic in MS paint...click view and then click stretch/skew...change the 100% values to 25% save changes and exit. the pic should be small enough to post now.

 

here's a couple pics of my March braket and pulley set. I don't remember what part number the kit was though. I bolted on a crown vic pump and a 5.0 mustang thermostat housing and everything fit prefect.

this is the bracket on my old motor



this is the side view still with the stock alternator





the 105 amp Lincoln Mark VII alternator bolts up prefectly to this setup. It still uses an external regulator so you don't have to mess with wiring but I ran a bigger wire from it to the battery.

 

I think you should deffinately get your 11's man. Looks good.
