I came across a 93 Cobra water pump pulley and have decided to use it for some better cooling.

Does the change in diameter of the pulley require a different belt? My tensioner mark is about in the middle of its range right now.

Click to expand...

Well, didn't the cobra have a smaller alternator and crank pulley too?

I guess the best way will be to measure once I get the pulley mounted.

I just didn't want to remove the blower belt if I didn't have to but it will give me more room anyway to install the pulley....
