I previously ran two belts to alternator and
water pump. Once I added the smog pump for a vacuum source, the geometry
forced me to either give up dual belts on the water pump OR the
alternator. I figure I wanted the water pump working more than the
alternator. So only one belt on the alternator.
Hi Ed,
It is indeed the water pump that I'm worried about. I
can live without the alternator for a while, but the pump needs to keep
running. I suppose I might also be able to fashion some sort of idler
pulley for a second belt to the water pump, but it's probably easier to modify
a dual pulley to fit the
alternator.
Cheers,
Rusty (off to fix my
brakes)
