I would also consider the single alternator belt conversion.

Flywheel seal replaced. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1308322767.jpg
O rings and gaskets replaced. Looks like they had a leak on where the oil thermostat usually goes - there was some type of sealent there kinda gooped on.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1308322830.jpg Crank pulley replaced - with Patrick Version http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1308322892.jpg So I can run the earlier cross member and sheet metal. Injectors back from getting cleaned (they were in good shape - but good insurance) distributor off to get the belt replaced. Again - good insurance. |
Looking good JD. Q-tips, rubber glove finger, cellophane plastic, masking tape, paint swabs on potential loose fasteners....... You're worse than me! :D

Can you measure the diameter of the PMS crank pulley and the diameter of the stock inner pulley and let us know what the dimensions are? I'm pretty sure the PMS pulley has a smaller diameter vs. the stock pulley. I went with the Rothsport pulley because it's diameter is the same as stock and I didn't want to slow the fan down by going to a smaller diameter lower pulley. Please let me know. Thanks! |
I'm a known PMS hater, bought the PP version. It has ALWAYS required a blip of the throttle to turn the alt light off at start up. So it's a bit of an underdrive. Doesn't do a thing to the idle.

One thing I did have trouble with is getting the PMS pulley on square. I noticed it wobbling quite a bit when checking the oil level when I finally got my car running. I got a few tips from PMS about the install - namely to make sure the pin sits flush w/the outside face of the pulley and to use just a tad of antiseize during the install to allow it to slide on in an even manner. I don't know if the 993 pulley is different than the 964 pulley, which is a tapered fit etc... I have mixed feelings about PMS. I used a few of their products on my engine conversion, but went elsewhere for other bits as I had a heck of a time getting them to return repeated calls and emails w/questions about product support etc... |

PMS, good acronym for those wankers. |

Pretty sure Bruce Anderson states in his book that they were able to pick up HP with a smaller crank pulley turning the fan a little slower |

Hey Tom - is the 10 x 750 fan belt the same one used on the 996 turbos? (which is listed as 10 x 753)
|
modified the heater fan duct just need to paint it

Don't you need the fitting to blow air into the distributors?
|
I'll drill and plumb once I get it painted.
|
I figured you would know that, but wanted to be sure. Gonna be a fun toy when it's all done.
|
I have the PMS crank pulley and do not have the need to blip the throttle to energize the alternator. I have a '95 fan, intake and alternator. Maybe that is why?
I also ended up using an 11mm wide fan belt. It fit the pulleys fine and seemed a bit more robust when I was selecting it. At the local NAPA, they have every conceivable type and size of belt, it seems. Doug |
Good luck. That is a clean looking engine. I am still planning on doing a 3.6 myself. I look forward to following your install.
