			Recently Anthony has had some two and three groove 67 BB cast iron crank pulleys for sale and I ask him if he’d like me to post this picture of my three groove pulley set up on my 67 car.  
		
		
		
			Some people don’t understand why some cars use a two groove and others a three groove. Hope this picture is helpful to someone.

			I've always understood it to be alt, water pump, power steering if using all 3 grooves on the balancer pulley are used...

			So, la smog cars without power steering got 2 groove and with got three groove. I wonder if la smog cars without power steering still got 3 groove and it wasn’t used or got just the 2 groove? Does anyone with an original bb car with smog and no power steering confirm if they have 2 groove or 3 groove?
