Pulleys
I just picked up a BBK pulley kit for my 88 GT. My question is once I get off all the bolts and nuts how much do I torque them on the alternator, water pump, and crankshaft. Also whats the easiest way to get the crank pulley off, it seems like a tight squeeze.
Thx for help.

Re: Pulleys
Take off the fan and fan shroud, that should open you up to a lot more room. Also loctite the bolts to the crank pulley.

Re: Pulleys
Whore!!!!!!!!
A 3G upgrade is what people usually do. http://fordmuscle.com/archives/2001/...e/index2.shtml I have underdrives on both my cars with no charging problems, but the alt and battery are new on both, so a weakened alt could have adverse effects. At idle mine charges at 11 volts and 14 while driving.

Re: Pulleys
To get the alt pulley off I used a ratchet and a rubber mallet and hit the ratchet attached to the nut until it came loose, took some time but I was determined to get it off.
