March serp belt pulleys with factory brackets
I'd think the nylock should work fine.
I don't think it's going anywhere either.
12.20, nice time for a street driven car!
Thanks. Looks like you are at the same level.
I need a better converter for sure, my 60 ft times stink. I believe my car should be in the mid 11s but I'm pretty sure it's tired. 12.20 is the best I've run so far. Previous owner went 11.97 with a 4.30 gear so I am close with a 4.10. I may have run a tick or two faster if I stayed in it to the stripe. A better converter should pick up at least 2 tenths. Stock stroke small block with a single plane intake=no torque.
That's a bummer on the leak.
Yeah, it happens. I've done a lot of water pumps in my life. I hate coolant. I had an idea that it was ready to go, I had smelled coolant before I took it to the track but there was no visible leaks. There was some runout in the bearing and I could hear it groan a little when you turned the flange by hand. I had loaned one of my other friends my coolant pressure tester over the summer and he never gave it back to me, probably would have been useful to have it when I needed it. :angryfir:
My Pop has AAA. Sure is nice. Been thinking about getting it myself,
It's nice to have the backup if you're far from home like I was. Didn't think I would actually ever need it but I am glad I had it. I did have to pay for tolls both ways which was over $120 with a tow truck. I was only an hour and change from home but I was in another state, had to take the NJ turnpike and go over two bridges to get through the city. Still, it would have been several hundred dollars to get home without it so it's worth it in the end.
BTW; are both the crank and water pump pulley smaller than the stock pulley's or just the pump? March makes a couple different series. Not sure what series you have but the power and amp series actually slow down the pump and alternator about 10% compared to factory non a/c pulley's
The water pump pulley is smaller for sure, I believe the crank pulley is too. The belt is 2" shorter than the one I had on it before.
