Pictures don't appear on that page...at least for me.

Ian, His pics show a standard set up. Alt in upper right, driven from crank over water pump and the PS on middle left with belt going from crank over WP pulley as well. Used to see the same thing on cars like the Buick park. aves and Olds 88/98s. His original set up was the alt driven off the crank over the WP and the PS mid mounted (doesn't look like the low mounts though, maybe steering box is below it?)

Thanks Steve, I guess he should be fine as long as the crank and water pump pulleys have the same respective sizes for the two grooves.

Now, why can't I get those pictures up on IE?

Ian

What do you get when you go there? Just the text with image placeholders? Or nothing?

Just text...no image placeholders...just blank space. Wierd.

My Suburban runs that way, it's OK.

thanks,

i've driven it a few miles without any problems...
