Pulleys.

What aftermarket pulley systems are out there that are good and worth the money for my Thunderjet. I want to run a Saginaw pump and I know there are two different ways to run a saginaw which are keyway and press fit. Which is better? I need a system to run A/C, Alt., and PS. Any suggestions?

Look in summit's mag or on their website. They have them, but they are not cheap.

For the sake of cost you could try to find a car that had a bog block in it, not pretty but everything you would need is there. The alt brackets are a problem in 77.5-79 f250 4x4 though.

Why are the Alt. brackets an issue?

Except for the smog pump that looks like the 429 Thunderjet I had in my 71 Colony Park, even to the Frigidare A6 compressor and Saginaw PS pump.

I wish I could help you with some of what you need, but what I have is a bunch of parts from my 86 F350 460 engine and it used a Ford PS pump and FS6 AC compressor.

Factory serpentine setup, which is actually not a serpentine setup, from a van with a 460. The chunk where the ac compressor would mount is fugly, but it works very nice. The pic below is from when I was mocking it up, before I had cleaned it up.

Ok, I have that same setup, but I cannot figure out how to mount the PS/AC to the drivers side head. My setup I got from an injected E350.

I just went out to the garage and figured it out. It's amazing what a visual aid will do for me. Thank you.

Actually, what I found on my 86 when I put the serpentine setup on it was the bottom inboard bolt on the left head was larger, 1/2-13 vs 7/16-14. See attached picture.
