VC V8
I have a 1981 VC with 4.2 V8 blue motor with air con. and power steering.

I'm restoring the car back to original configuration after the previous owner made "boy racer" mods to it.

At present I'm replacing the glimer belt set up back to the original V belts and pulleys as there was no provision for the air conditioning belt.

(The air con. system is all there, just useless with no belt connected)

Can anyone help with images or diagrams of the belt arrangement that was standard in the VC 4.2 with air con. and power steering?

The crank, alternator and power steering pulleys are all sorted but the water pump pulley is needed, so any images and correct dimensions for that would be helpful. There appears to be different depths of pulley available?

Thanks.

on VC (and WB) XT5 'blue V8 engines GMH changed the water pump design to what is known as ... the large bearing version now

and also changed the pulleys to match (line up) with this

did it change things? yep... see pic
make sure you get the right pulleys
