RE: [Chrysler300] Belts & Tran Lines - A little help please

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Just curious-are the two different-sized sheaves connected by V-belts to the
same driven sheave or driving two different accessories such as p/s & a/c?
If the same, there must be a lot of squealing going on unless the driven
sheave is smaller by the same proportion.  Even so??? 

 

I can see some value in having two different sheave ratios for a single-belt
system-one for low to moderate engine speed, and the other for high speed
runs.  Might make sense to have a/c working better in city traffic.

Keith and all

I have several 57 + ? factory a/c systems. The crank pulleys have two sets
double groves. Each set same size. Then I bought a 58 Imperial parts car. It
was a factory air car. When I pulled the motor I noticed the crank pulley
was as you described. The 2 inner groves are different. I am sure like you
described. The compressor was not on the motor when I bought it. I was
perplexed how the belts routed. It is odd that a 58 Imperial was different
from a D.
If you want to borrow one of mine until you locate one, your are welcome to
it. I am a long ways from installing 2 factory units on my cars.

Thank you,

Well, I think I probably have something unintendedly odd. I'm putting
on the full factory air arrangement up front to handle my "dealer
installed" A/C setup - A/C pump, dual pulley gen, dual pulley water
pump, and 4 groove crank pulley. Going from the back, the #1 groove of
the crank pulley is 1/2" smaller in diameter than the #2 pulley. And
now I'm sure these two should be the same, and that would be my
problem. I got the crank pulley from Jeff Carter, so I'll check with
him in the morning to see if he thinks he sent me a wrong one.

If I'm not able to get a "correct" crank pulley by the time we leave for
CA, would you think a single belt could handle the water pump and the
power steering pump? Or is that just going to slip when I turn?

Thanks.
Keith
