I am in the process of installing a Vortech T trim on my 96 cobra. I am running a 2.85" 8 rib pulley on the blower. I have the blower shimed out away from the bracket 0.28" to compensate for the added thickness of the 8 rib vs. the 6 rib pulley.
My problem:
When trying to install the blower and bracket, the pulley on the blower is hitting the front face of the alternator before the bracket is back all the way against the front cover of the engine.
What are my options? Should I call the Vortech tech line and see if they gave me the wrong pulley?
If there is no pulley on the blower, then the whole blower and bracket assembly fits nicely and will bolt right up to the engine. It's just that when there is a pulley on the blower, the pulley is hitting the alternator thus not allowing everything to go back all the way against the front cover of the engine.
