I spoke with Dennis Cling, the guy who makes the serpentine belt set up. he is sending me a pulley for a model A pump, he said that the fan will work. I have put a lot of thought into this. and I think a Model A pump is the way to go. one good thing is it will last. the 34, 36 Ford Flathead pump is not designed to run a fan on it like the A pump. and one good thing is with the A pump I can change the pump on the side of the road. with the set up I have now the car will be down for about a week. some times I think stock setups are good
