Trouble lining up pulleys on 302
i am about done with this 302, it has fought me since I got it back from machine shop. I have a 68 302, bought a water pump for a 68 302, the water pump pulley needs to be shimmed out 3/8 inch to line up with the inside groove on the crank pulley. My ps pump bracket that is from an aftermarket bronco shop, is now lining up behind the inside pulley on the crank.
if I am running a ps pump on driver side and an alternator on pass side, what is the v belt routing. Do I need a double pulley on the water pump?

"All I want is a simple v belt setup and a ps pump and alternator. I don't understand why this is so hard."
Welcome to Ford!
Over the years Ford made changes to the accessories on the engines, so ideally you should get all of the brackets and accessories with the engine you buy. Even if they are damaged, at least you have samples of what to look for.
I am pretty sure you do need a double sheave water pump pulley to use both A.C. and P.S. But you say this is going into a hotrod, what kind of hotrod uses power steering?
Among the variations of parts, there are different height water pumps, different P.S. pumps and brackets, and even different offset harmonic dampers.

You've got the wrong water pump pulley. And I'll simplify what Beanscoot was saying: it's damned near impossible to mix FEAD parts (Front End Accessory Parts) from different years and applications (and engine families) on Fords. What are the engineering numbers on that water pump pulley ? It looks like a 351C/351M/400 pulley to me. If the third character in the numbers is an "A", that's what it is and not a 302 pulley.

The P/S pump is adjustable to tighten the belt tension so he can use a single sheave waterpump pulley but from the pics, he still needs the correct waterpump pulley to match both the crank and alternator pulley spacing. If he wants to run both alt and P/S, then the easiest setup is that off a late 80's Crown Vic/Marquis/Lincoln Towncar. One belt and both are mounted on the same bracket on the driver's side and use a std rotation waterpump.
