Vortech water pump and tensioner pulley issue

[Crooner88]

Correct , I used to have to walk the belt over the water pump and I got tired of that so I used a small block Chevy alternator bracket and bent it like the Vortech mount and now I can manually tension the alternator

This is a pretty nice idea to get it less difficult to install ( take a longer belt ) and then take off the slack by ajusting alternator on the bracket, love it !

If you look through it’s more toward the last 10-12 pages probably I think I took pictures of it and what I did

Update,

I drilled a new hole for the tensioner pin to reclock it upward, with a longer belt that slip easier on the wp pulley i have to take off the small leftover slack. I did shim the vortech alternator bracket but did not like the way it was seating and it was very difficult to put the belt on again. So i ordered the adjustable alternator bracket just like TOOLOW91 and everything should be fine. Didn't even have to change my original wp pulley for the 93 cobra

It makes me happy when people actually read through all my nonsense and can take something from it. Glad to see you making headway

Your thread on "Fun in the Bedroom" nearly got me killed.

That’s only what I let people know I do , you should see the rest

Kind of blown away that no one suggested finding a smaller diameter idler pulley and a shorter belt.
