A few years back I fully restored my 73 AMX, front accessory pulleys were a PITA! The power steering pulley gave me the most trouble. Info: 73 AMX with a 70 360 motor. AC, PS, no air pump. Belt should be a Gates 9640 or 9630 (64" or 63" .47 width, 36 degree pitch) Everything from the 73 motor was moved to the 70 motor. Took some doing but finally got all the pulleys to line up properly. The original power steering pulley did not have the right offset and was impossible to line up. I finally found a pulley with the right offset, but the groove is too small for the 9640 belt. I used a .41 width belt and it works fine with the AC off of course, but can be screechy with the AC on. The pulley is a 5.5" diameter with a 1/2" offset toward the pump. THE Question: Does anyone know where to get the right pulley, with the 1/2" offset and Larger groove to fit the fatter belt? |

Did you use the 73 wp or 70. 73 should have a longer / taller pump.
If 70 pump and 73 accessories you'll have alignment problems.

This is off my 73 Javelin. Saginaw style pump/reservoir. The second groove on the power steering pump pulley is for my air conditioning that is not hooked up.

At the time, I had both water pumps so I used the one that lined up with the crank pulleys off course, not sure which one that is. Lakeside, your picture points out the double pulley that was meant for the air pump I believe. If you have AC without the air pump, like mine, it is only a single pulley with the offset that puts the larger pulley toward the pump in the same location as your larger pulley. That fatter pulley like you have is what I need, only just the engine side single type. The AC belt resides on the front part of the damper pullley driving the AC and the PS pumps.

Second groove for a/c ? Normally that second groove is for the emissions air pump, not the a/c compressor.

Okay,, I don't have the outer hooked up at this time, nor my a/c. But this is my factory pulley on my 73. Thought the pic would help. Pulley is part number 3216621.
