My Vacuum Pump & Belt....

[icanfixall]

Well guys... I'm kinda embarassed to say this but you all were right. The serpentine belt picture I got from Towcat shows the belt going under the vac pulley.... Not over the top like I have it.... Its funny too because it worked fine... Till Travis pointed it out to me... And I had to travel 2100 miles to find this out... Sometimes your the bug.... Sometimes your the windshield.... I guess its time to look over the rest of my truck... I wonder what else I assembled "differantly". At least I can laugh at myself...

Does everything work fine the way you have it?

Care to share the picture? I just picked up the serpentine setup from Darrin...hope to add hydroboost to it as well, but he had it all pulled, so a picture would be good.

Noticed that too. Now we know the vac pump works in both directions.

The vac pump has a little camshaft in it and will work either way.

if that is the worst you have assembled wrong i would be proud.

The picture is found in the forum search but before I post it I need to see if the belt I have will reach under the vacuum pully too. I have the Nappa belt part number NBH 25-061110. I believe its 111 inches long.

It still worked.

Well if it's any consolation, I owe ya a thanks and an apology as well.

At the show and shine ya pointed out my turbo boot appearing to be not connected properly.

Well, I found that boot did actually spit itself out after tinkering around on it a couple days later.Whoops!

Mel had a few leftover IC boots and one was longer and worked perfectly.
I now can achieve 10 psi again!

For an update... My belt wont fit under the vacuum pump like its supposed to run.... My serpentine system is the newer upgraded type. That means I have the tensioner with the shock absorber on it. My alternater may also have a larger pulley on it too. So... Now its time to figure out which belt fits. Calvin told me I would have problems finding a belt that will fit.. And after finding one to buy several... See... Others feel spares are a good thing too...

Not sure about Napa numbers, but if you can get me a gates number for the belt you have, and how much longer you need, I can tell you the part number...could then cross it to Napa or whatever.

gary the 113 inch belt should work for you. thats what I used to run on peppermint. I had the same tensioner with the shock on it.
