I am doing a manual to power steering conversion on a 69 camaro w/ SBC. It has the long water pump and was equipped with the aluminum crank pulley and water pump pulley when the owner purchased it. I have purchased the 3 piece pwr steering bracket kit and pwr steering pump (keyway style) from NPD. I purchased the aluminum pwr steering pulley locally and now have an issue with the power steering pulley not lining up with a groove on the crank pulley. It seems to be about a belt width off from the 2nd groove in the crank pulley. This car doesnt have air so i'm sure that the 2 groove pwr steering pulley and the 3 groove crank pulley is not needed. Could I have a pwr steering pulley designed for a short water pump? I dont think it makes a difference on the power steering pulley you either have keyway style or press fit pulleys. I've attached some pics for reference. All comments or experiences encouraged.
