Reversing the belt tensioner
I have seen this before. I have a 351W with no a/p or a/c. I am using the same belt routing as the 73.5 routing except for it is a longer belt for the 351. My problem is the belt goes under the tensioner just like stock 5.0, around the alternator and then to the w/p. Where it goes under the tensioner and around the alt., it is rubbing on itself right at the tensioner. I thought I solved this problem with a shorter belt. Not so fast. I have seen motors with the tensioner reversed but don't know how to do it, nor have I tried since I only have one. Anyone know how to do this?
This is what I am trying to do. http://www.geocities.com/motorcitymu...-c_delete.html

which water pump are you using a reverse flow like a 302 or standard like the 351 W ?
that will effect routing also

Reverse flow like the 302. It will still be the same.
