<VV> pulley source?

[Mark Corbin]

All,

I received a private email from Seth saying that the car at one time had been rear-ended. That may be his problem, as he states that it may have had the rear frame rail shoved forward a little and not corrected. So he may have to specially machine a pulley for the job.

Seth, Mark Corbin is right, you probably need to go looking for the aft motor mount bracket, there were several renditions of them. Mark Durham

Seth,

I've never had much problem with belt clearance.You sure the rear motor
mount bracket is a correct LM bracket?

Also, there are two "stock" pulleys that can be used, the a/c pulley and
the smogger pulley. The latter is a little smaller in diameter. That may
help you.
