Default March pulley clearance

Hi,
Could anyone give me a hand and check for the clearances to the frame/suspension with the specs given in this url? My vette is far and won't have access to it till this weekend and I really need to order this asap if it fits. I'm pretty sure the PS pump will be fine but I'm not sure about the alternator. It will be installed on a '78 SB w/o AC.

March Pulley

Thanks in advance, I owe you one!

I have the March kit on my car, a 72, and there are no clearance problems. The link you posted is for a long water pump, you need a short water pump kit on your vette. This is the kit you need, the same as on my car:http://www.marchperf.com/pg13.html

I just put this same kit in my '80 and there is no clearance issues. The only thing I will have to do is get a plate of some sort to go between the belt and the upper rad hose as there is only about 1/4" clearance.

Instead of using the stock radiator hose you should try the flex aluminum hose that will allow you to move it away from the belt.
