Just thinking out loud...does the ps pump run on the inside or outside groove on the crank pulley? Will check mine tomorrow to see if I have 2 grooves.

Jim, I'm quite sure the inside groove on the crank is always for alternator and water pump because manual steering cars would only use that groove. It's a long time since I had a 6 cylinder Acadian with power steering (1974, my first 65 SD, ripped out the 6 and put a V8 in of course!) but I'm quite sure that second groove on the alternator is just an idler for the PS belt.

LOL, a kick in the you-know-where with a frozen boot is a lot more help than he is.

Hey Jim, I have the whole set up still attached to the rusted boat anchor original engine from the Acadian, I'll take a pic and post it tonight.
Yeah I know, still haven't got around to putting it all on the " new" engine........

Yeah what he said. Just want to make sure the Beaumont stuff is the same as Acadian.
Now go have another cup or 2 and get back to work Jim.

Well the brackets are different but look to put the pump in the same spot. So probably will work.
Thanks for the pics buddy! Think the one's from Jerel will work or can make work with a BFH! Now I have something to refer to. Whens the trip out West?????? Time to re-pay!! You were right when you said rusted..looks like the belt might handle a couple more revolutions..but just a couple!

Think so,if not I'll make them fit(BFH)! Just shoot me a PM (no cell yet).
Thanks John..as you saw..not a major panic.
Johns van looked pretty full!! Could always plunk it on the roof...just need a couple of good straps!
I've got some good straps. Is this similar to what you need?
