Oh damn!! I gotta weakness for a Sonic burger and Green apple Sprite! HAHA! Man It aint me...Its my lady and moms. I like to leave right after work 3am. But they all sleepy and want to leave at 6,7,8 am. sh*t i wanna be in tha paint by that time. Thats why I need to get this El running. I'll keep you updated tho. I wasnt gonna come cuz thats another $100+ in gas-And that can be used for some goodies

Yeah I didnt see a sizing listed for it. All I saw was "universal". I'll compare it to the og one and if its the wrong size, I'll swap it for the other. Thats why I didnt go with the other pwr steering pump pulley or tensioner pulley with the nose cone summit listed. Both pulleis were a tad smaller. I just noticed the pulley you have has the provisions for a nosecone. It isnt pictured with the 3 small tapped holes on the site. Im having the og one chromed tho so its all good-well, I hope they can chrome it :? . Thanks for the heads up brotha!! 😀

Just got the email that parts are being mailed out today. Bout to order my "y" pipes and turn downs for my remote electric cutout ki.t These are made to fit that company's cutouts.

All thats left now is the exhaust and 2004r x member from G force. Decided to do te G force cuz I want the extra bracing-Doing a sunroof so I might need the lil extra support the g force gives. Not much left

i used the 725 idler and the 710 tensioner. march makes underdive pulleys which i dont like and the 610 power steering pulley was regualr drive thats why i went the route. im sure they can chrome you pulleys should not be that hard. my pulleys for the idler and tensior dont have nose cones and they looked just like you old ones so that is why i ran the above numbers. i love the cutouts thats my next mod......

Lovin the goodies!! Can't wait to install them

Hey vic there is a sonic walking distance from my house. We can grab some grub before, during, and after we wrench on your engine Dont worry warren i'll order a green apple sprite in your memory :lol:

Well all the goodies from Summit came in. That was quick. Opened the box to see all the goodies and wasnt too happy. Box for the Tuff Stuff alt had already been opened. No instructions, literature or stickers. Looks good. Cant see any areas that indicate its been mounted..But I want another one... 2nd..Opened the March AC nose cover. The nose tip on the cover is scratched all up. Now normally I wouldnt complain about it cuz Im polishing the cover out. But then i read the instructions on it. Says not to drop, drag blah blah blah and "Used parts are NOT refundable. Scratched or mounted items will be charged a 70% repair and restocking fee" Oh helll naw. Its going back-"point blank simple"(inside joke )Oh dont tell me your gonna charge me if I sratch it and send me a scratched up part! Its pretty noticable. Since Im getting it polished up it wouldnt be a prob. But now I want a perfect scratch free part. As I should have recieved.. 3rd.. The 740 idler pulley is not like the one pictured on March's site and Summits site. This pulley is all smooth and doesnt have the lip on the edge of the pulley like stock. It looks to be a tad bit smaller like Dave was saying. Its goin back also. Off to UPS I go...

When I saw this I said uh ohhhh...

Since its getting chromed I might not send it back. I just hate spots that set all these rules up and then send out an effed up part...

Alt is def goin back. I dont even wanna take a chance...And I want my dman stickers and literature. HAHA
Staples had been pulled and there was no other shipping packaging other than the plastic wrap. Naw...Goin back..

Idler pulley looks different from the one pictured on March's site and Summit. Looked again at Summit and they had other viewable pics. SHows this setup. Just a tad bit to small...

I'll use the credit to get the same tensioner and odler pulley Dave has. Gotta call about my return shipping amount and if its refunded...

Ahhhh that sucks warren...UPS probley did all that...they dont care about others packages!!! i hate UPS!!

 

[Bumpin1ohmSS]

I have great luck with ups. Its Fed up er I meant Fedx that messes up stuff. This was from the supplier. All the boxes were inside another box from Summit. The March stuff was pre boxed as well. Summit just packages it all up and ships out. Now the Tuff stuff alt was sent like that from Summit. Somebody opened it. Maybe to look and make sure the pulley was right or something. But no instructions, literature or stickers. There should have been some other packaging inside the alt box. It was all loose and moving around.Its all boxed back up goin back in the morn. Luckily I didnt need this stuff asap ya know?

man that sucks when that happens. get the 725 and 710 from march and you will need two 7/16 washers to get the 710 pulley tight trust me on this lol....call them 1st as they may send a return call tag for this stuff so you dont have to pay the shipping.

 

[lildudefl]

Man that sucks, Summit has sum great customer service though, I had to call them a few times and they are great. Hope you get everything sorted out
