Adrianse 65 Convertible Supercharger Driving Belt
|
With the induction system complete, Ken turned his attention to driving the supercharger. Ken used a 1/2-inch Gates V-belt, PN 9555, that is 55 7/8-inch long to drive the blower pulley refered to in step 3. To keep the belt tight, he used an idler pulley (arrow) and eccentric as recommended by Frank Mirate at Burbank Auto Parts. This idler runs on the flat side of the V-belt and was originally used on mid-'80s Chrysler products. The upper radiator hose had to be relocated because the V-belt driving the compressor was in the way. This was accomplished by using an aftermarket thermostat housing outlet and relocating the water inlet on the radiator. After an hour or so of searching, Ken found a molded upper radiator hose that could be cut to fit exactly. View Related Article
