I had a problem..  I have about 10 emails from March where I discuss fitting the 20570 kit on a BB vette.  We discussed all the peculiarities the different kits int hat series and I chose the 20570.  Well guess what?  The 20570 doesnt fit the corvette.  The PS pulley for the kit is "listed" as 6" OD.  it is actually 7" OD, 6" ID.  if it were 6" OD it would fit on the car... though you would still have to jack the engine up to get it mounted.

 
So today i had to send back the power steering pulley, the billet power sterring pump, and the ps brackets, and a 61" belt and then order a remote reservoir pump, new bracket, new pulley because I really needed the 20550 kit.
 
so i have had a delay in getting anything done.
