My fan is crazy wobbely !
I thought perhaps the fan clutch so I pulled it off to inspect - I bolted a metal rod onto the water pump and I found a little bit of play....nothing I could see, jsut a little somthing I would feel when I pushed on it.
I want to replace the water pump (a small black 350 short pump) and the pulleys.
I can't figure out which pulleys to buy and I need help, I am worried about my power steering pump and altenator lining up. I have a three pulley set up on the crank and a three pulley on the water pump and the inner and outter are in use. My thought was to buy a kit, all pulleys and brackets so I knew everything would line up - but everything I find is either serpentine or for a long water pump. Anyone have any thoughts?
My brother wants to go to a u pull it junk yard, but I am worried about being able to find a short water pump on a chevy with all brackets and pulleys on it .... ugh -- any thoughts? Anyone know of a complete kit that I can order?

Sorry should have said .... very new to all this, learning as I go. Do you have a link? Is this March V Belt system a kit so that my power steering and altenator line up with the belts? I guess I am interested in a pulley and bracket kit if one exists.

John, I agree with Pauls recommendation. I have been looking for some nice brackets and pulleys for mine and I think I am going to go with the March Pulleys as well.
Thanks Paul, Now you cost me more money!

Hey Paul, pulleys look great. We all need to know what kind of invisible plug wires your using!

That's the kit I have. I bought mine about 4 years ago - looks like the price nearly doubled!! Shop around first and make sure Summit is realistic - they usually are tho...
Be careful with the PS pulley. Needs to be pressed onto the shaft. Make sure not to push on the shaft - can damage the internals...
Nice kit - you'll love it!! They give you an under drive crank pulley as well!
Have fun.
