    I searched the archives and didn't find what I wanted. I did see a lot of names I don't see post anymore. I took off the Power steering but I forgot the power steering pump ran the waterpump. If anybody has a pic and some info on how to space the Alt. It would save me a lot of time and gas running back and forth to the hardware store. Thanks.

    Every time I have done that, I just got the correct water pump and crank pulley set.
    You should get the pulleys off a car without P/S from the factory.

    I suppose you could rig something up to work with washers or homemade spacers though.

    Good luck

    I guess I forgot to mention it's a stock 302. I put a 90 5.0 block and I'm using the old style Edelbrock waterpump with the front cover with the mechanical fuel pump. I'm just going to get her to run so it could roll to the body shop and to get the interior done.

    I've had this car sitting a few years and I'm tired of seeing all the nice Mavs out there.
