This CVF Racing kit converts a Pontiac 350, 400, 428 or 455 V8 to an 8-rib serpentine belt drive for the alternator, power steering pump and A/C compressor on an engine that uses an electric water pump. It supplies the billet pulleys, brackets and alternator fan, with a polished finish, while the accessories themselves are supplied by the buyer or added separately.
The power steering pulley is offered for either a 5/8 in. keyway shaft or a 3/4 in. press fit shaft, and the kit can be ordered with or without the serpentine belt.

Additional Application Note: CVF notes that this list is not complete and that many of these vehicles have had the original engine swapped, so confirm the engine, water pump and balancer on the vehicle rather than selecting by model and year alone. CVF also notes that 1969 was a transition year, so confirm the engine has the taller 4.5 in. water pump.
