mustanggarage · Mar 21, 2019

there is a link in the for sale section where sanndmann3 sources restores and sells the explorer serpentine kit. I bought one from him. it is a nice setup. https://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220355
and there is a nice write up in the tech section with a lot of information about it as well. http://classicbroncos.com/tech/explorer-5-0-serpentine-accessory-drive-belt-conversion

I’ll just re-emphasize ensuring you get the right distributor gear MATERIAL. If it truly is a roller motor, it’s got a roller cam. A stock style distributor made for an early bronco most likely does NOT have the right gear material for a steel roller camshaft. It will work...until it breaks and you have to tear the whole motor down.
Ask me how I know.

Thanks, I'll make sure...
