standard rotation would mean i would need a ribbed wp pulley right? small like the cobra pulley....what would the belt routing be like with that? Single belt systems are so fun..

I think I might run the lincoln Alt setup. It mounts on the drivers side and since The A/c And the P/S is gone the only things i run are the water pump and the Alt. that way i could get rid of the smog elim and the tenisioner all together. The lincoln setup adjusts the alt up and down for tension.

That sounds interesting. Would like to see how that works out...

sounds cool. Let us know how ya make out...

ok boys! this will work.........I got this off of a 88 lincoln town car with the truck looking backwards efi. There may be more years of these but mine came off of an 88. It has two supports to the water pump, one of which will need a shim where the old powersteering bracket was between the alt bracket and the water pump. The second is a brace that goes to the intake bolt farthest forward, and third will be a theaded rod for my application....LOL But this will eliminate all those darn eliminator for those of us that take the a/c off and the power steering off. BUT----If you wish to keep your power steering you can get the whole driver side assembly. I think this is fabulous because this is something the New and Old Novi guys can use.

**lx-convertible** · 08-25-2003, 12:02 PM

what did they charge you for the assembly?

**regattacoupe** · 08-25-2003, 05:27 PM

i knew the people at the yard so it was a gimme.:D But i flipped them 10 bucks just to keep on the good side. I really think this will work nice

no just run the belt ribs over the water pump. It will work no prob.

Regatta! Please post pics soon. This could be my ticket to make this thing work. we are trying to do the same thing as far as the 3 acc. only thing is having to extend the harness
