After three (count `em...<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">THREE</span></span></span>) trips to the parts store(s) to find a belt that fits...we have power steering.

FWIW, with the 3 groove crank pulley and the 3873847 PS pulley, a .410&quot; wide (10 mm) by 51&quot; belt should be just about right. I have a 51.5&quot; belt and it's just a skosh looser than I'd care for with the adjustment maxed out.

Gott'a wait `till the system de-foams a bit before I can test drive it, but I was able to turn the wheel back &amp; forth with 1 finger. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

SO FAR---no runs, no drips, no errors...save for the slight mess I made spilling PS fluid while trying to fill the reservoir with the engine running (the car does shake a little after all...)

Fingers crossed...more shortly..I hope!
