Gilmer Drive for 1968 427BB
Has anyone done this before. I want to fit a Gilmer to my 427 in 1968 Convertible.
Not sure what water pump I have - are they a long or short pump.
Also have an aftermarket PS unit which appears to be in the way.

I also have the Millerspeed set-up. Alistair came over to my home, brought it with him, and we installed it here together.
If you watch the current Wheeler Dealers C2 episode on Velocity, you will see my car and engine at 45 sec into the show and you can see the set-up (for a moment).
BTW, Car Craft found ~10 hp using the Millerspeed set-up because of reduced friction and slightly different pulley ratios.
