I just bought the Billet Specialties kit for $470 which includes the power steering pulley. I actually like the look of the CVF stuff better. I think Billet Specialties goes a bit overboard on the look of their pulleys. I only chose the Billet Specialties kit because it uses the threaded rods for belt tensioning.
Did you ever go with a power Steering pump? I have the same kit on a 1980 Chevrolet, blaser With a saganaw P series pump and I can't get the pulley to fit It appears the shaft On the power steering pump is to wide. Did you have to press it on? I thought it would just slide over because it is the keyway style pump.
@@Epic64SS Thank you. Mine is the same style. keyway with a bolt so I'm assuming either the plating is to thick or I got something else going on. Appreciate the info.
I used the balancer bolt to install the balancer, you could use it but i removed it , then put the main pulley on, Its a press fit so dont really need the bolt
Every water pump pulley I have ever bought came with a spacer shim. Its common. March Performance gives you spacers. Id like to know how well the belt has stayed on not having a tensioner?
