About to start tearing into this car. Amazingly, this crazy set up does not throw belts. Car is a 350 4V with no A/C, or no HDC. I can't understand how anyone thought this was close to right.

 

Its just alittle incorrect! But hey they made it work and not throw belts or squeal. :-)

 

They didn't think it was right. But it worked. So they didn't care. That's how most people are.

 

Methinks someone installed a long snout A/C water pump and got creative with the belts to make it work. Bet if you put the correct non-A/C pump on everything would line up as designed...

 

But, but, what is the dual pulley power steering pump from?
I cannot for the life of me remember what those came on, lol.
Crazy set-up, a short nosed w/p might fix it though.

 

I had to do a simlar fix with my sbo. I used a non ac set up with the wrong pump. I used both pulleys and lined up the back groove on the h20 pump pulley to the front grove on the crank pulley. I used half inch spacers to space out my alternator pulley and mounted my alternator on the front of the bracket. Never tossed a belt and didn't have to buy a diffrent water pump. At first sight no one would notice what I did. This is the first time I have not tossed a belt in the high rpms with a stock set up. Well almost stock lol. It might not be "right" but it works lol.

 

Some Toros have dual-groove PS pulleys and some 307 cars have them.

 

Just checked my ASM's for 71 & 72 because I had this issue before on my 72 vert. It looks like all 71-72 V-8 Olds A bodies with A/C had the P/S pump with the dual pulley. What is REALLY odd is that if in either year your car had the H/D cooling option WITHOUT A/C, you also had the dual pulley P/S pump but a belt rode in the forward groove only!
