Micah, that four groove pullie threw me for a loop also, it must be a 1970 thing and it is original. I think this set up was made to keep the p/s in the fourth position and discontinue the use of the cast pullie. So instead of skipping the second groove they put a non-used groove, I guess the metal was not as sturdy as the cast.

They cast three grove should be the same their is no second position but it is not needed. The belts fall as follows:

First groove is 1/2" from balancer (ALT)
Third groove is 1 11/16" from balancer (A/C)
Fourth groove is 2 3/16" from spacer (P/S)

It has the same pattern as a 1967 with power assit.

Thanks Tommy
