Pulley is straight forward, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

If you don't already have it, but a 7mm swivel socket (sears has them) for the coilpack bolts. You will also need an assortment of sockets, extensions and swivels. I find a 3" extension on a plug socket, with a universal and an 18" extension worked best for me. Be sure to tape up all your connections because they will come off and leave the extension and plug socket sitting somewhere you can't find them. Also have a magnet on hand as to not drop the coilpack bolts.

Good luck, I changed my plugs, and installed my chip and pulley in a day and still made it to test and tune....it's not that bad.

 

Everything should go fine if you have the right tools and follow the instrctions and Dont be in a rush. Be shure to drain the fluid from the radiator before changing the thermo. Remeber the threads are reverse on the pulley. Dont forget to take the tranny lock off. If the pulley is cageless i didnt see any reason when i installed my pulley to remove the radiator shroud or intake boot but you will have the intake boot of already for the thermo.

 

thanks guys...i hope the belt i got will work for the 4lb lower and a 2lb upper...its a gatorback i got from south florida pulley headquaters..its says its for the 4lb lower or 2lb upper..so i hope it will work..
