After 4 nights of tinkering, I finally got all my pulleys lined up. Basically, I didn't get any of the spacers that originally came with the kit so I had to figure out what size and fab each one. I started by reseating my balancer and re-bolting the crank pulley on. This aligned the crank to the water pump (I guess my balancer was not correctly seated because there was about 1/2" misalignment before). The power steering pump pulley was wrong so I swapped it to a spare and it lined up to the crank. Then I measured for spacers and fab'ed them to get the idler on the driver side all lined up to the PS pump and crank. Next I moved to the York mount. It needed to come out 1/2" so I fabbed some spacers up for that. The York mount pulled the 2 passenger side idlers out with it. I measured for new hardware for the alt mount/idlers and got it all lined up, too. Finally, I had to swap pulleys on my alt to get it lined up, and that pulley needed a 1/8" spacer. Whew!!! None of this was hard, just tedious.
I measured for a belt and it's a ginormous 8 feet 10". I am officially out of money again so I have to wait until next paycheck to get my belt: It won't start before Christmas.
I installed my new power steering lines and have started wiring up the motor. I painted my York and it's mount because they were gross. They look better but not awesome. I have my nylon Fuel supply line installed on my tank but forgot to pick up a 3/8" rubber hose for between the pickup and the nylon line so I couldn't install my tank. Hopefully tomorrow.
