Pulley pictures/chart?
I bought a factory type ps kit from Corvette Central an my mechanic is not sure of the correct belt configuration. Trying to line up to the alternator and also says there is interference with the top radiator hose.

So, you had to put a protective sleeve over the radiator hose to keep the belt from rubbing the hose?

Thanks

No. That's just a Gates hose. I've never seen one with "alligator skin" like that. I almost sent it back but I liked it so I used it. I don't have any problem with the belt rubbing.

I used the bracket kit from corvette central on my 66. On the goofy power steering and alternator bracket I had to widen the P/S slot as my pump wouldn’t move. On the alternator side it is very hard to get the bolt in. Like the bracket is bent incorrectly.
