Hey all, I have a '70 Chevelle with a 454. I finally got the car running and drove it a little bit. Thats when I ran into a problem I hadn't thought about. At about 7600 RPM the alternator belt decided to leave the engine compartment. I've been trying to find some billet aluminum deep groove pulleys, but I can't find any that match my current pulley configuration. The pulley set up I have is supposed to be out of a '70 to a '72 Chevelle but did not come with my car. I am running the long water pump, the alternator is on the passenger side of the car, and does have power steering. The aternator pulley is a single row and measures 2-5/8", I found one of these at a swap meet. The water pump is a 2 row and measures 6-1/4". The crank pulley is a 3 row and measures 7-3/4". I would like to keep my current pulley configuraton, but am willing to change. I am not using my power steering pump at this time but may decide to put it back on. Any help, comments or anything would be appreciated. Thanks.
