Electric water pump help
Hello everybody. Thanks for your help. I'm considering buying an electric water pump for my 87' vette. But i'm not sure about how to run my belt with this set up. I want to remove my a/c and smog pump, but I can't figure out how to run my belt system with the electric water while retain the power steering. Thanks for sharing any info on this problem in advance.

Spend less $$$ on a regular SBC WP and do it this way

That's my setup. The reasons for the electric waterpump are; 1, to be able to cool down the motor between rounds at the track, 2, less drag during a 1/4 mile run. Willie

Thats one of the reasons for me going with the electric wp. I trying to reduce drag and also help out my cooling down time between rounds. I notice your set up incorp. a few idler pullys to redirect the belt around the elec pump.

Works for me. Belt stays on at 6500 and am still able to use the tensioner.
