BlueStag Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hey, So you may know of my quest. I have a '73 Triumph Stag into which I have insinuated a L6, SUs, and a Maxima auto four speed. The Stag came fitted with AC, but that has long been deleted and I expect that the matrix under the dash is toast: I would need to pull the system up from the foundation to the top to get it running: none of what I actually have would be of any use. That said, I have come near to deciding that I am going to swap in a manual (5sp) and ship the auto off to another member whose wife would be glad to not need to shift. God bless the wives. And then I am dumping the torque converter and a whole lot of other stagnate inertia on the drive train. And there is a strong argument to get away from the three row damper that I have. Without the AC I have one row I don't need. But I do need power steering, and that is, on the accessories that I have, the outermost of the pulleys. Was there an arrangement that had two pulleys and power steering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Not that I am aware of. You could rework the bracket to run on the A/C pulley and unbolt the front stamped steel pulley from the damper though, wouldn't be terribly difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djz Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 What I've done in the past with an N42 head is move the power steering pump back by making up an adaptor bracket and using the hole rearward of where the mechanical fuel pump would bolt on as it's in line with the normal bolt holes for the pump bracket, this way you can run one belt, the tensioning is done by the alternator and the belt lined up pretty much perfectly.

Hmmmm. One pulley would indeed be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
