Yup. I’m going slow on this project. I wanted to finish other ‘clean-up’ items before I competed the install. I think those are done… as if they are ever ‘done’.

Pulling the old pulley

First on the list is to install the new combination pulley for the super charger. That includes unbolting the engine mounts (a P.I.T.A.) and lifting the engine. The photo shows how far the engine mounts are separated. Next I backed off the 1 5/16″ bolt on the old pulley. I set the engine at TDC before pulling the old pulley.

New Pulley compared to the original. Old timing mark is visible.

The new pulley came without a timing mark. The 74 MGB has the timing mark visible from the top. I lined up the key way on both and created a mark on the new pulley.

New Pulley mounted

Pulley is in place. Once again, you can see the motor mounts.

Engine Remounted. Yes, oops, the gound strap needs to be connected.

This is after dropping, and bolting, the engine back into place. There is adequate clearance for the super charger belt to be added after installation. The water pump belt will ride behind the SC belt. Next, the alternator needs to be re-bolted. Then I’m going to heat wrap the Tourist Trophy header pipes.
