Re: pulley system

The ONLY reason you have the reverse rotation water pump is because of the serpentine belt setup. Get rid of the factory serp bracket system (which is ugly anyway to me), and you HAVE to use a regular rotation water pump. Not a big issue since water pumps are cheap. Swap any pulley/bracket setup you like.

I'm using a $30 Mr. Gasket alt bracket in chrome, moved alt to pass side where it belongs (in my world), I'm using a March p/s bracket. I have a serp belt from crank to w/p to alt, and I run a V belt from crank to w/p to p/s pump (a kind of 1/2 and 1/2 system like the 1987 cars have). Of course I have no smog pump or A/C anymore.
