I dragged my feet and did not order these parts last year, and now that I am ready to order them, several are discontinued. The crank and power steering are that are available.

So is anyone else in the same situation? If so, what are you using?

I need the alternator setup part # 4012-285-692S
big block pulleys:
crank pulley 4012-266-696
water pump pulley $ 34.95 ea 4012-269-693 (can't find out if this is a single or double groove, prefer single)
alternator pulley 4020-286-681
and power steering pulley 4012-288-693

thanks in advance

At www.early-birds.com I like the fact I can go right to the store if I want.They have a 1-800# as well on the site.

Does anyone know what the diameter on the crank pulley should be? I know a lot of the big block pulleys on the market will be too close to the crossmember, and would like to know what diameter should be on the nova big blocks. Thanks

Bill,
I also have a two groove pulley on my race car. No clearance issues.

I believe I ordered this one from Classic Industries. The part number is KW396. It is a two groove pulley. In their catalog it shows it's for a Big Block but online it shows small block.

Ron, I thought your crossmember was notched out in that area, or is it only the further back crossmember?

thanks again guys

There is about 1/2"-3/4" clearance to the crossmember,yes motors in.I had a 3 groove ( it has a larger diameter for 1 groove) and it was hard to change the belt so I bought the 2 groove.No more problem.:D

Bill,
It's only notched by the oil pan. I had the same issues with the 3 groove that Taz mentioned so I switched to the two groove.
