Pulleys on a 350

classic_car_guy · 01-23-2007, 05:21 PM

I have a 69 Cutlass with an Olds 350 engine. I bought the car from a guy who had a motor in pieces and wanted an extra $4000 for it. I opted to buy the car without the motor and replaced it with a 77 olds 350. I have done minor mods but nothing ground shaking. It has a/c and I do not have the pulleys for crank or water pump. My question, and it might be a stupid one, what will fit and allow proper alignment of the accessories. The origional ps pump was in the car. I have tried pulleys from a 77 260 and they do not line up with pump. I can not find a place online to purchase these. Any help with this would be greatly appericiated.

Hi. I am assuming the power steering pump had the bracket attatched. The pulleys from the 260 should work, if you also change the power steering bracket. Also, cars with a/c had a longer waterpump neck, that may be your problem also. Hope this helps. Jim.

I know there are a few variations used, I would suggest using the pullys from an earlier motor that would line up with the power steering pump pully. Is the AC compressor from the 1969 or 1977 engine? I've got extra pullys, but it would take some thought to figure out which ones would be the correct ones. John
