Getting the pump brackets for my ’66 292 took some time to find.

Thanks for the heads-up. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 240 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 240 | 4-5-6 did you move your shop over on Southwest Blvd

| | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 | the one on ebay has it's problems it seems as it utilizes one belt for pump and alt. there doesn't appear to have that much belt contact on the pulleys, which will cause slippage
that is how it appears on the photo of the 230-250 i6 setup

I have seen several factory and hotrod applications where the belt wrap on the alternator was less than 90 degrees and they worked fine.
As the add states, the brackets have plenty of front to back adjustment to account for different belting arrangements.
In other words, it works with multiple belts as well. The pictures currently show this. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.
Thanks,
