Finally I have the Nova at my new house in Edmond and can get back to work. Special thanks to Chris for helping me move and to Rob for the trailer. ;)
A few months back, I purchased a set of Billet Aluminum pulleys and could hardly wait to install them.
The first step was to remove the old pulleys.

---

The water pump was mostly strait forward but took a little more time than expected due the fact that I had to use two 5/16 nuts to 'jamb' together and then remove the stud.

Once I secured the flywheel from turning, I removed the crank pulley.

The alternator pulley was giving me hell, of course,  the impact was the last thing I tried.
That worked in like 4 secs.

Next, the fun part, Installation.
Alternator pulley was easy, just crank it down with the impact, and install the nose cone cover.

The waterpump pulley requires special tapered head bolts.
I didn't want to use just regular hex-head bolts or re-use the old studs.
These are extremely difficult to find. I spent nearly 2 hours driving around between Lowes, Home Depot,
Pep Boys and other Hardware stores.
Just FYI, --the exact specs are  5/16" x24 (fine thread) x 1" long.
I could find plenty of 5/16" x18 (course) but no fine threaded or tapered head.
Finally, at an Ace Hardware in Edmond I found some chrome bolts that were exactly what I needed.
Although they were over $4.00 each, by this time, I didn't care. :D

Next, I'll install a Billet alternator bracket to replace that stock piece.

nice post!!!
