okay so my new car has a PS rack, PO removed the pump and everything and installed a single main pulley. i heard FD's use single pulleys, anyone confirm? if this is true would i be able to use a FD pump with my FC PS bracket? what would be required to maintain the single pulley + PS? craps giving me a headache

 

pics? not sure what you are talking about. FC only has one PWS pulley

 

I guess he's talking about the idler pulley which you could probably delete if you bought a smaller belt.

 

 

both the fd and fc have seprate pulleys for the ps and ac. you just need to take the ps pulley itself and bolt it to your new crank pulley.(hopefully it will fit) changing it to a multi rib belt like an fd, or your new pulley set up will be a pain, with no gain...

 

from the pic it looks like the previous owner converted it to a ribbed belt so what u need to do is just find original FC pullies and put everything back and u will be fine. the original pullies are just v-belts.

 

update: gonna run electric powersteering, pump should be here wednesday i hope? (chance.....)

anyways anyone know the thread pitch of the actual racks feed and return line? im gonna run a cooler in-line with the return, should be buttery. if anyone knows holler

 

Well, if nobody helps you, go to your local hardware store. Bring your fittings for the ps rack with you. Start reaching into those nuts and bolts trays and thread **** on. You'll find the right pitch. I've had to do this ALOT.

 

don't we all....

 

why dont you just use your


Metric threads are easy to measure with that thing above (whats the name again?)

 

I dont have one of those thing-a-majig-e-wiggys

but i got the pump today (thanks chance aka slidealliance)

im just gonna go to a place the sells earls fittings and have them check and give me whichever ones i need. ill also be posting a write up in some other forum for those who are interested in it.

 

caliper

 

question:

My rack has 3 holes, can i plug one of them? which one is Feed and return and which one can i plug, i have the pump mounted already and by next week should have all the fittings and lines done

 

lemme know how it goes bro
