    2 vs 3 v- groove power steering pulley

    Also figured out all the bolts are metric. M10x1.5, 20-25mm. Went to depot (while thinking about legomatic saying get a Irwin measuring tool) and used their on the wall dohicky to figure out and got two bolts.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Cool, I was trying to find a 30psi gauge. They seem to be 15 or 60. I was worried about potential leaks there. I see yours is 15?

    2 vs 3 v- groove power steering pulley

    Also, yesterday I realized I need the bracket off the old PS pump that the pulley didn't come off...PB, torch, Yada Yada. Got one bolt off, the 2nd...?! Well, "I fought the bolt and the hacksaw won"; repeat for triumphant song in my head! So not likely beable to repair old one for a spare.

    I bet for smog. The 87 has/had one on passenger side below the alternator. I believe 88 had two. One on each side. Ours has a six groove serpentine from alternator, (smog), water pump to crank. Single v-groove from crank to power steering. 2nd single v-groove from crank, water pump, power...

    2 vs 3 v- groove power steering pulley

    So the '87 3/4 ton, 454 has a 3-groove power steering pulley. NOT coming off. Will a 2-groove for the saginaw work and line up? The back v-grooves are approx 5.75" diameter. BThis truck was not using the front smaller v-groove 5.125 diameter? Press on, remote reservoir, new one on the way...

    RockAuto

    Not certain where to post... I noticed Rockauto has a bunch of close-out items related to our old trucks i.e. belts etc. It seems worth checking out. Mod post wherever appropriate.

    '88 TBI Build

    The last time I fully rebuilt an engine I was 15-16. I have worked on alot on stuff through the years to save money and keep it running like my burb though. When I was replacing ball joints, my retired neighbor mechanic encouraged me when I was ready to give up. You do learn as you go. "Ah...

    A/C Question

    It will definitely be easiest to go to the Sanden route if compressor needs to be replaced. Our 87 had a HR6 factory replacement (slightly shorty than A6) and the stock brackets that fit. All after market bracket stuff is made for the Sanden types.

    That current cross reference is discontinued now as well. Can't find any current cross reference. You got anything? A piece of leather, old shoe that would fit?
