Mock up . @84Ttop you can see the tensioner here . Once the new belt is on it should have the tension to clear the wp pulley correct ?

You are exactly right Jeff. The belt will be close but they won't touch as long as you use the correct length belt

Got the oil feed t all made up and is installed . cut hole for power pipe just need to install the rubber around the hole then that will go in . harness is installed and upper intake is now a permanent fixture .

Need to get a shorter belt because the stock is still laying me on the water pump . so I am gonna try a 87.5 .

need to get the wide band bung In and finish exhaust .

Lug nuts and radiator hold down rubbers will be here Friday so that can be finished up . hoping maybe to start it this weekend .

I am just shocked man I did tons of searches and you'd figure how many times this has been done someone would have a definitive answer.

Hey look after 300 attempts the goddamn belt fits !

Spoke to the kid who had the blower he told me that crank pulley was an under driven pulley on the actual crank itself so I had a brain fart and put my underdrive water pump pulley on and we are in business
