Shredded belt?

What power steering pump/reservoir set your using? 

 

Spoke to him already, luckily he has his old alternator and he’s going to swap pulleys 

It's off an 04 WJ. Holes need to be drilled and tapped.

Yup I found my old alternator in the bed of the truck noticed the pulley was pushed out farther, swapped the pulleys and everything is aligned properly now. Thanks for the help

Wow! never seen a combo pulley like that before either, V and serpentine. 

 

Rare bird that one is. Don't lose it.

in this thread shows the same set up as swampy's that has the alternator pulley with the extra thick rib to extend out the pulley

 

Why does he have what looks like a Nippon-Denso alternator on an 88?   :thinking:

One of the problems with working on old cars:   We never really know what "improvements" have been made by previous owners/mechanics along the years.  To quote from "Forest Gump":

 

Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get.  Or something like that.

My ‘87 2.5 has an idler pulley and remote PS reservoir. The pulley was mangled so I ended up modifying a 4.0L one to work. There was something solid in the return hose from the reservoir so there was no PS at first.
I switched in a 4.0L one I had but couldn’t keep the reservoir hose pipe in and converted to the 4.0L style on the pump and had to Space the pump forward to align the pulleys.

The idler was a holdover from 2.5/4.2 with V belts. It keeps the serpentine belt from hitting the thermostat housing.
