Default Pulley problems

What size and how many grooves came on a 76 L 48 crank pulley? Mine has 3 grooves with one nearest the fan being the power steering pump! Seems like the grooves don't line up with the water pump pulley and it's eating fan belts! Not original engine! Short block from 77 3/4 ton truck! Crank pulley unknown!

Is it really a three grove pulley or a two grove with a third for the PS that fits inside the two groove? I was thinking that the PS belt goes from the crank pulley to the PS pulley only.

It does! The other belt groove is for the a/c!

I am sorry I thought you said that your water pump pulley didn't line up.

You know that corvettes have different waterpumps than trucks?
But if the waterpumppulley lines up with the alternator and so on,
i would also suggest, that you need an other one on the crankshaft.
