    Norm I think that might be a better way, to use that remote tank pump, I did not want to put that much $ for one. On the plus side you would half to cut that left [finger] off on the back compressor bracket like did. Walt

Size:  94.6 KB Can not find a belt that I like this one is ok but addjustment bolt is all the tight. Might relocate the idle pully on alternater bracket. Happy with intercooler mounting.

    Thank you but belt to close to power steering pump pully and its hits the bolt head next to it. Matt is sending one more idle pully and I hope I can put it like 4 oclock of power steering pully. That would solve both issues.

    Had same problem with belt hitting bolts so ordered couuntersunk bolts with allen head centers . These went into front of supercharger and allowed belt to clear heads.I used power steering pump from 08 3500 series GM van. It has remote filler and also accepts my hydroboost line. Only using 2 idlers and seems to fit good. Unit fits good in 68 rebel wagon , much better than i expected .
