Bought my Serpentine setup today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 05-20-2005, 07:24 PM

Got my serpentin esetup today at the Pull-a-Part in Nashville. Got it all for $80. After all that I hope it works and is the right setup. Thanks to bisquick, Putter, and Gman69, for their help. The only problem I have is on the second pic is the small cut on the PS Pulley. I guess I'll have to find another one.

Thanks guys,

Bryan

being a cheap S.O.B. i'd try dressing that pulley with some small files before I replaced it.

**Palf70Step** · 05-20-2005, 08:04 PM

Good haul there Bryan. Like Rainfade said you maybe able to clean that pulley up. That setup will look real good on yours. Soooooo, is your's home yet???

^good question

5150 · 05-20-2005, 08:49 PM

Hell No!!!!!!! Went and saw it today. Nothing changed. I think the glove box got put in.

If I am not mistaken look at a new one and it will probably be the same. For some reason I use to encounter these in collision repairs and we thought the same thing and after we bought a new one we noticed the same mark. Check and make sure though, I could be wrong about this but it's what I remember.

The AC compressor side looks like the one I bought but for some reason the power steering side looks different. It shouldn't matter though if it came off an 8-cylinder GM. You will probably need to drill and tap a 3/8" X 16 hole about 1/2" deep in the passenger side head for the bolt hole just under the AC compressor. Great find for $80; these setups typically bring $200 or more.

tmcgrawlookalike · 05-21-2005, 08:05 AM

there is nothing wrong with that p/s pulley!!!!!!!!

tmcgrawlookalike · 05-21-2005, 08:14 AM

you are using original year p/s gear box?that pump will have o-ring fitting in back of it,and gear box will have flare type fitting.change out fitting in back of pump to older style if so.your changing w/p and fan both to reverse rotation also right?sure is alot of work just to have serp set-up,and i don`t think it is very beneficial,but,that`s my opinion.good luck!

5150 · 05-21-2005, 08:27 AM

After seeing George's(Gman69) at Pigeon Forge I wanted one. It was just a nice clean look and gave it a newer look also. I got it off a 4.3 V6 Blazer. Bisquick said that's what he got his off of. I have no idea how to put it on, but when I don't have a truck right now I figure it out later.

5150 · 05-21-2005, 10:07 AM

Are you saying I need to go back and get the fan?

Russell · 05-21-2005, 12:38 PM

yeah, the fan is a reverse rotation as well.

I am always hearing people say that you can change the fittings from the back of a power steering box. How do you do that?

As far as I can tell, the fittings are moulded right into the housing of the box... Do you just pull the whole top of and put an o-ring style top on or something?

5150 · 05-21-2005, 12:55 PM

will the fan fit okay in our shrouds? Just making sure

they unscrew

Go with an electric setup like george and putter's. It'll look a lot cleaner and no worries about shroud clearance.

5150 · 05-21-2005, 05:52 PM

Bill,

I'm thinking about that Nissan setup that is over on the FAQ page about the Altima and Stanza's. I'll have to see if I can find one at the pull-a-part

not the box,the pump.and it will just be for the pressure side hose.

neonlarry · 05-21-2005, 06:07 PM

Both the fan and water pump are reverse rotation.
The fans usually (there are lots of different setups) will not fit our shrouds, you will need a big block fan shroud.

Ohh!

Now ya tell me! LOL I've been hearing people say that I should just change the fittings out, and it has been bugging me something horrible :P This saves me a whole lotta time and money as far as installing the hoses goes, lol

1STtimePRo'71 · 05-21-2005, 06:23 PM

Why serp? Whats the big deal?

5150 · 05-21-2005, 06:28 PM

It just looks better and is probably more efficient. Here's the link to some people who've done it-

I believe that is what Putter used.
