A&A still makes a secondary drive. i have one on my car that was modified by ECS to run a cog belt to drive the jackshaft pulley. Works great.

a&a will make them and they actually answer their phone too... they have 2 designs now, the older one is similar to the cartek flip drive and the newest design will require a new balancer and it doesn't use the ac belt to drive the jackshaft pulley

I have A&A's newest flip drive. Was holding great at 18psi. About to turn it up to 25 so we'll see how it does. If not I'll probably need a cog drive like 94z28racecar mentioned.

But cartek still open but those guys do a lot of racing may take you a few times to get up with them. But now it is winter I would say you shouldn't have any problems.

I just pulled my Cartek flip drive off my car, switched it out when I went to a 10 rib setup with a new A&A balancer that has a extra belt to drive the flip drive. I plan on selling the Cartek drive, minus the power steering hose. PM me if you are interested.

You deleted our cog driven direct drive? Or a Cartek direct drive purchased through us? Our direct drive is the only system available that has a stronger belt running the accessories then the six rib belt it drives. All others use a four rib belt to drive a six rib belt, something GM would never do.

Cartek has closed so no it's not. One of ours may work but I have not tried that yet.
