    im removing the power steering in my 73 maverick. It has a 302 in it and sense the power steering runs off the fan/crank pulley the alternator doesn't line up. What fan pulley works to line up the crank/alternator/water pump. I'd like to find a pulley that's not too expensive, sense I'm going to do a full pulley system later just need something to go in now. Anybody no what will work for this of a different car or truck or jegs/ summit.

    It all depends on what you consider not too expensive! I did this modification exactly two years ago. I used a water pump pulley C7OE-8509-D that I purchased from e-Bay along with a March crank pulley MCH-1631 ($94.39) that I purchased from Summit Racing. Both of these pulleys are double grooved. They line up perfectly with the stock alternator pulley.

    Only if that 3 groove crank pulley lines up with your alternator pulley.

    that it does. Thank for the help I'm going to order one of those pulleys tomorrow. I just bought the car last month and it's been sitting for 14 years. I'm trying to get her back on the road got it started and running good. Tranny works good too. Just need this pulley so then the motor will be done til I get the stroker kit in it. The just tires and tags.

    60.00 junk parts
    50.00 a/c eliminator bracket ( NEW )
    38.00 alternator junk yard
    45.00 power steering recon. ( napa )
    70.00 belt tensioner new ( napa )

    That's a nice set up. I went to the yard earlier and there was no complete set ups there. I'm going to keep looking around and see if I can't get a set up like that. Sucks cause there's only one junk yard near me so everything is always picked over
