What's wrong with the V-belt stuff that originally was on the 305?

Just curious.

ok cool, i went up to kent and got most of a setup found it on CL, but if i need anything ill let ya know

and with the serp setup it makes the alternator and water pump spin backwards...so the alternator doesnt charge and the coolant doesnt get pumped

my heater core blew as well....

Alt can spin both ways. I had a spare h20 pump for serp setups just laying in the garage. Embarassed

Was going to say, alternator charges either way. But it also doesnt spin backwards with a serp setup. All pulleys with the small grooves spin the correct direction, all with the smooth face against the belt spin backwards.

so if the wires in the harness are setup right and i plug in the alternator it should work right? so the wiring is good and possibly the alternator is bad?

Have Blatozone test it if you're unsure about it.

now im just thinkin about buying all new pulleys but im wont be totally sure until i can try out what i have

aaron_sK · Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 9:21 pm Post subject:

Gotta stop throwing money at your problems, dude. New pulleys aren't going to make your alternator work better.

91camaro_rs · Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 7:08 am Post subject:

haha i was just thinkin bout gettin new pulleys to make it look nice so i dont have any pulleys with too many grooves, i talked to the guy i got the alternator and serp setup from and he said its probably dead.

91camaro_rs · Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 1:53 pm Post subject:

wow i really need to sort this crap out.... so i remember the volt guage inside working so technically the wires going to the alt should be ok, i wil have to double check and get the alt tested, but instead of completly switching to v-belt couldnt i just get a new alt (if its bad) and a reverse flow water pump?

iansane · Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 2:08 pm Post subject:

Yes. Yes you can. Like $30 or something for the reverse flow? If you want ultra cheap parts just to get it together, go talk to a big red headed guy at autozone on 6th.

91camaro_rs · Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 2:33 pm Post subject:

alright cool, i think i will get a reverse flow and probably a new alternator, and the bolts im missing that hold the serp setup on Rolling Eyes

haha oops

i get the car back tomorrow, hopefully i can get it drivable before the uptown show
