IMO, don't buy underdrive pulleys unless you want battery charging problems.
Sounds like the power and amp series might be overdrive style pulleys
instead of underdrive. Allowing for higher amp output at idle. I just
prefer the stock pulleys. I have mine powdercoated.

Subject: DML: March pullies ( was: FSM and water pump.... )
Ok, The water pump exercise has exploded into a re-do of the whole belt
drive system!!
LOL!
Ok, this is what I purchased ( and has arrived in my shop ) thus far.
- A1-Cardone re-man water pump #58-447 ( the bolt-on pulley type )
- fel-pro water pump gasket #35540
- Gates automatic tensioner pulley #38016 ( just the pulley. tensioner arm
seems fine.
index mark is very close to index arrow with a new belt installed. )
- Gates idler pulley #38033
so far all the parts thus far look like a dead on match.
What I want to do now is install the March Pulley set. But I got 3
questions..
1.) I dont know what set to go with?
a.) Performance Series
b.) Power and Amp Series
2.) I don't know what length Gates serpentine belt goes with each set?
3.) Should I get the March Power Steering Pulley #645 as well. I mean, is
this just a
dress-up pulley ( no change in ratio ) or is this a real performance part (
changes the
ratio ) ????
link to the March power steering pulley #645:
