My unit does not have a double pulley. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | 48 2 ton has dual W-1's on an Offenhouser manifold and Fenton headers on the 235. Powermaster alt.
Mounted A/C on drivers side and used stock type single belt (wide).
Major engineering project because of manifold and header clearance problems. A lot of modification to the mounting brackets and had to modify inner fender for it to fit, and add an idler pulley.
Works fine. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 4 | The Vintage Air bracket that I used had 1 belt for the crank pulley, water pump and a/c compressor. The a/c compressor had a double pulley that ran to the alternator. A/C compressor is mounted where the generator originally was installed. The alternator sits above the compressor about even with the head. Here is a link to a photo: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/...xe%20Powerglide/DSC_2642_zps8de914c9.jpg | | |
