If your junkyard is fresh out of Caprices and F-cars, and if they have a good return policy, maybe try crank pulleys from 4.3 S-10, 4.3 Astro, and any '88-up fullsize pickup. There's 3 different pulleys for ya.

All the crank pulley's are the same as far as i know. I mis and match them all the time without any issues.

Are you sure the ps pump pulley is on right.

Re: serpintine belt drive issues

it does look like the pump pulley has a good size gap from the bracket that would make it set to far forward from crank pulley alignment i try to move pump back if possible thanks for input.
