I agree the belt misalignment as described is not a big deal. (And if more spacing is needed, the w/p and crank pulley could be moved forward slightly as well.) I'll look into this solution for my 32. I just hadn't realized that the Chevy distributor could be set high enough to have the belt run below the body. That was new for me. Thanks for a very informative thread. John
