Seems like every time I buy something to finish my project I came across another snag. I wont bore anyone with the long drawn out story so he is my newest set back. 67 Chevelle orig SB installing a 78 / 79 454 BB, motor came with no pulleys. Trying to preserve the orig look I installed a short H2O pump
and purchased a repo crank pulley and water pump pulley. Installed them The crank pulley a smaller diameter then the balancer ( is that normal ?) and the alignment to the water pump seems to be short about 1 to 2 inches, the alternator lines up with the crank pulley ok. I double-checked the water pump pulley with Ground Up and it appears I have the correct one. What to do ??
Single groove pulley with out power steering (should be 1 belt ?)
Balancer came with engine I was told that it is the same dimensions of a 396 balancer not sure if the statement is correct or not.
Small Block days just seemed so much easier :{

The bbc balancers are all the same with respect to pulley alignment. Are there any part numbers on the pulleys, or do you have a photo? You might have the wrong water pump pulley.

I can take pictures, not sure how to post them on this site if it is ok I will send them to you directly or how can I find how to attach them to this site? I also will take off the Water pump pulley and check the numbers, I had contacted Ground up and inquired about the set back for water pump pulley they have listed and just eye balling it it appears it is the same as the one they call for. Thanks for your help
