Serp belt

Barry Jackson · 03-13-2003, 12:30 PM

I am having problems with the serp belt not having enough space between the alternator and water pump. My set up: 351W, alternator, power steering, water pump and crank pulley. No AC or air pump. Anyone else run into this problem? Have tried several different belt lenghts.
Thanks

Sounds like you need to relocate your power steering pump, up closer to where the AC compressor used to be.

Here mine but is a 302 maybe it will help in rounting...Pic of belt routing The belt lenght was 77.5in 775K6 was the part number at Advance Auto... To get ot on I had to uplug th elttle plug on he ALT, take out the top bolt and let the Alt slide over to get the belt on and pry the Alt back ove to bolt it back into place. But you having a 351 you might need a little longer belt. What sizes have you tired?? Also is your waterpump a reverse rotation??

I am not sure of the lenght, will look tonite. It is a NAPA part #. Your diagram did not come up, I would like to see it if possible.
Thanks, Barry
