Howdy,
It has been a while since I have posted anything, but I have been lurking for a while. A couple of years ago I started assembling parts for an A/C install on our early 1965 Mustang. It is a 170 with factory power steering car and the Eaton style pump. I was planning on doing a dealer installed A/C setup. I looked at the assembly manual and sorted through my boxes of parts and thought I was good to go.
I got to the point of mounting the compressor when I realized I had a problem. In the assembly manual it shows with power steering that the setup should use 3 belts total. The inner belt routes: crankshaft, water pump, power steering pump. The outer belt routes crankshaft, water pump, A/C compressor on the outer groove of the clutch pulley. Then the generator is driven by a belt from the inner groove of the A/C clutch pulley.
I thought I was in the clear because I already had 2 belts running from the crank and the water pump. The inner one went to the generator and the outer one went to the power steering pump. Once I got the compressor mounted and started trying to install the three belts I found my problem. I need a double sheave pulley on the crankshaft in addition to the inner pulley on the balancer. I currently have one belt on the single pulley balancer and an add on single sheave pulley for the power steering.
In the assembly manual it is listed as part number C20E-6A312-B. As it sits right now the power steering pulley, the A/C compressor clutch pulley inner groove and the water pump and crank shaft outer pulley's all line up together. I have looked at EBay, NPD and Kentucky Mustang and only have been able to find a single groove sheave pulley by ACP. The ACP part number is FM-EP006. In the application guide it says it fists most 200 from 62-67 with power steering or air conditioning but not both. NPD's catalog shows it compatible with a 170 as well.
So here is the question: Does anyone know where to get the correct two groove add on sheave pulley? And if not, can you stack two of the single groove sheave pulleys together safely?
As always, Thanks in advance for the help!
