I recently found that my alternator belt (and circulator pump belt) is very close to the filler neck of my power steering pump. I have no more than 1/8 of an inch clearance and Im sure as soon as i start the motor the belt will rub. A buddy and I spent about three hours today trying to figure out why. The only thing we came up with is a previous owner replaced the alternator or power steering pump or maybe the brackets. If anyone has pics of their motor showing the configuration of the pump and alternator it would be a huge help. Has anyone seen this before?
Im assuming any older 18c, 22c, or hornet w/ a 454 and transmission would be the same.
Its in a 1980 Hornet II.
