Pulley Alignment Issues

[747mopar]

Well that's the thing. It really wasn't lined up, and the crank pulley was out of whack You could see it spin and be wobbly, hence my replacing that part. The PS Pump was close but not wobbly. It might have been a little off before, I never did really look at it that closely. But you can clearly see it's not lined up now.

You're probably right, there probably are mismatched parts on it before I started all this, and the PS Pump is likely the culprit. Once I fix it I'll update everyone.

Looking at the pics, it looks like the more modern Saginaw pump which I believe isn't correct for that year? Someone with more knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong?? I ran the same P.S. pump on mine before going serpentine, maybe you just need a different P.S. pulley. Get some dimensions and I'll compare it to the one I have.

Something else to add.... I've used to long of a harmonic balancer bolt before causing the bolt to bottom before the balancer was fully seated? Make sure it's fully seated.

I will check it. Having said that the alternator pulley/Water Pump Pulley/Crank Pulley grooves are lined up, so I'm thinking that's not the issue. Worth looking at anyways...

HEMI-ITIS once its all together I will post pics for sure. Basically I'll be shimming in between the pump and the bracket. I'll have long enough bolts to make it work. I really only need a 1/2" to align things up.

For the record this minor issue is merely a small page on the the novel I'm writing on this car this past winter into present day. I've also done the following:

• Had trans rebuilt at Passon - The trans ran dry and got ruined. She's a beaut now
• New Clutch & PP - Trans fluid soaked the original clutch
• Flywheel machined
• Driveshaft rebuilt
• New timing chain because I HATED the gear drive whine. God that thing was annoying. I couldn't hear the engine at all over it.
• New Oil Pan Gasket because it leaked like crazy
• Painted the underside of the car
• New Fan Clutch, Flex-A-Lite Fan because it had a fixed fan and it got hot in traffic

I'll be moving onto the oil pan and then hopefully this weekend getting the trans back in. What a F#(&$)ing mess this has been. I'm DYING to drive this car with all these new parts and the trans being actually healthy.

Well,,,,,I gotta say,all this is pretty lightweight. welcome to hot rodding! It aint for everybody. Ive pulled and installed just about all of it so many times......each time it gets easier. Trust me. Now research installing a new dampner. I think you will find your problem and the solution.
