I eliminated the stock fan blade and replaced it with pusher electric fan mounted in front of the radiator. I stacked another water pump pully over the stock pully to give me a double waterpump pully. I used a late 70's pontiac, as it was large enough to stack over the stock one to place the grooves side by side( about 1/4 inch apart). I only had to enlarge the center hole in the new pully to fit the existing shaft. The additional pully is only slighty larger than the stock one. I fabricated a bracket using two of the bolts off the waterpump and another off the block to mount the power steering pump above the alternator and at the same level as the waterpump.I used an adjusting turnbuckle between the alternator bracket below and the front of the powersteering pump for belt tension adjustment with the stock style locking bolt behind the pump. I found the correct size v belt to allow for replacement and adjustment. Universal hoses from this pump powers the 800 series unit mounted on the frame. Like I say , it's been working for a year with no problems. Not as elegant as some but inexpensive and I did it in my own garage. | | |
