Title: Which water pump pulley for A/C & PS?
Post by: anarchyx34 on July 29, 2006, 10:55:31 pm

I'm in the middle of my gas--->diesel swap. I tried to swap the double pulley on the water pump from the gas engine to the diesel, but it's interfering with the crank pulley. In other words, it's diamater is too large. I wish I knew this sooner, so apparently there's a differnent pulley for ac models, unless I have this all wrong, and the single pulley is supposed to run the water pump, ac compressor (which in turn drives the alt), and the PS uses it's own single belt using the outside track on the crank pulley?

well the ps runs straight off the crank pulley as you said, and the water pump + a/c use the same belt, then the alternator runs off the a/c pulley (at least thats how it works on my car)

This setup is for pre-1985 cars. Post-1985 may be different.

Awesome thanks. I was figuring that but wanted to be 100% sure.
