Hey guys I just started to put the front of my engine back together and the groves on my crank pulley and the groves on my water pump are not lining up and I have no idea why? I put the balancer and damper back on and it looks as if the water pump pully sticks out to far I cant figure it out. Does anyone have any 70's 460 pics you guys can send me if so please send to justin_friermood@yahoo.com Thanks

 

I found this but I dissassembled the engine myself and I cant find,"or remember" any spacer.

The '78-and-up 460s are externally balanced and use a spacer behind the balancer with this funky external weight. Our early engine was internally balanced, so it was back to the salvage yard to find the correct early round spacer with no weight. Buying it new from Ford (PN D0OZ-6359-A) will set you back $46.28.

They were talking about different spacer with no weight, so never mind, but my pullies still arnt lining up? anyone have any ideas?

 

If your engine block has casting number D1VE-6015-AB, it does not use the weighted spacer. If your engine block is casting number D9TE-6015-AB it uses the weighted spacer.


According to the 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog (Section 60.7, pages 6 & 7), either D1VE-AB or D9TE-AB casting numbered blocks were used in 1979.


Whatever spacer you require, the vibration damper and flexplate must match the spacer.

D1SZ-6375-A .. Flexplate & D4VZ-6316-A .. Damper are used in conjunction with D0OZ-6359-A, the NON weighted spacer.


D9TZ-6375-A .. Flexplate & D9TZ-6316-B .. Damper are used with D9TZ-6359-A which is the weighted spacer.


>> 377850-S-special bolt / B8A-6378-A thick washer = 11/16" I.D.-1 3/4" O.D. x 7/32" thick / 6A312 outer pulley / 6316 damper / 6359 spacer / 6700 oil seal in t/cover / 6310 oil slinger behind t/cover / 6306 crank sprocket

 

Yeah that is what I have and in that order but how can the pullies be almost a half inch off alignment? I looks like I will have to put a .375 thick washer behind my damper for them to line up??????????????

 

please take a look at this

 

here is another pic

 

 

well I can take a pic of mine for you if you wish ?
It has A/C though

IMO, that water pump pulley isn't on far enough or the nose is too long.

 

Mil1ion That is the way it looks but it somehow has to be the other wayaround! because the water pump pulley is all the way on however the bolts arnt in it, but it is sittin pretty flush and the water pump nose isnt to long because that isnt a new pump I just painted it. I drove the truck home that originally had this motor in it and it had all the belts on it and they were fine. It has to be something I did but the only thing I changes was a gear drive. at this point the belt wouldnt even stay on the truck if I even tried to put them on. Thanks

 

It is more like the crank pullies are in too far, I may have no choice but to make a shim but why I should have to do that is beyond me I have absolutelly no idea what has happened? You would think the crank geardrive gear is alot skinnier than he chain one was, but I dont think so! and you can hear the weighted spacer go flush against the oil sling washer when I install it and everything looks good until you install the pullies. just dont know

 

well here's mine.

 

If anyone wants anymore info just ask, does anyone have a 460 with the damper off right now? if so what is the measurement from the oil sling washer to the end of the crankshaft? that would be real helpful. thanks

 

From the front of the pan rail to the back edge of the balancer I get 1 & 9/16". on my 460. If that helps any.

 

Thak you for the pic Mil1ion! looks like yours line up just fine. I got something wrong just wish I know what.
