[QUOTE="Dana, post: 234869, member: 4521"] As far as I can tell, any of the 3 lower pulley sizes would fit with the idler in either position. And no where in the instructions does it specify that either the lower or upper hole [B]must[/B] be used with a particular size lower crank pulley. The directions say to use the upper mounting hole if a smaller than stock blower pulley is in use. And use the lower mounting hole if a stock blower pulley is used. [B]That is all the directions say regarding the 2 positions.[/B] The directions don’t say why, or anything else, for that matter. Nor do they tell you what, if any, impact the two different positions have on their recommended belt sizes. The upper position won't do anything as far as ease of changing anything. There appears to be sufficient clearance in either position to make the lower change pretty easy. The upper idler position only causes more belt wrap on the lower (crank) pulley, which I actually think was their objective, and necessitates a longer belt. It’s too far away from the S/C pulley to have anything to do with it. As far as the 3 inch Alternator pulley, they are coming from a company (not either sponsor here) in Florida in about two weeks. The product is going to be produced in 2 sizes. I have not seen one yet. They have just begun working on them, they are not ready yet. As soon as I have confirmation on their availability or have one in my hand, I will post it here. I spoke to the company several times in the last week or so and told them there would be a decent market for them with those that bought the lower kit. They seemed to agree. They will make a run of them. Dana [/QUOTE]
