It is about a 7" pulley mounted on the front of the balancer.
But, I guess a picture is worth....
Hi, Although I've been enjoying this site for several years now, this is my first post.
My question is in regard to the power steering option on the '52 Roadmaster. I've never seen one in the flesh, only pictures which show little actual detail. It appears that the pump is driven by a second dedicated belt. Is the crank pulley a unique double sheive pulley integral to the harmonic balancer? Or is the drive pulley a separate "add on" part? If so, is which side of the balancer is it mounted to? Any details would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the excellent picture. That balancer looks thinner than normal. I wonder if it is unique to the PS option or a normal '52 RM part. Also, since the PS belt must pass between the fan belt and the fan I wonder if a longer spacer is used to move the fan foreward for clearance. I'm just full of questions, aren't I ? If you would be so kind as to measure the thickness of the balancer and the fan spacer I'd buy you a beer next time I see you. Thanks again.
The balancer is 9/16" and the spacer is 1 1/4".
You are right, the standard balancer is 15/16".
