I just installed my 331 in the car last weekend and today I installed my underdrive pulleys and the WP pulley hit the balancer.

Have any of you had that problem?

I ended up using 4 .120" shim behind the pulley at the bolt hole locations.

Just use your stock pulley. Most guys do anyway with the underdrives becuase of cooling problems.

No problems with mine. You sure the balancer is pushed all the way on?

I had the same issue with Mac pullies and a Romac balancer. I just ground a chamfer in the edge of the WP pulley and it was fine.

Click to expand...

Had the exact set-up as Troy and the same issue...I recently switched to March pulley's and was hoping it wasnt gonna do the same thing...I didn't, they cleared just fine...
I ran spacers in my Macs for awhile... then I ground the lip off and all was cool..
