| Paul,  
I encountered this problem years ago.  As I recall, there were at least two
different size diameter crank pulleys.  I was installing a later engine into
my chrome bumper 1973 and encountered the same problem. I had to change to
the smaller diameter pulley to clear the steering rack.  I hope this helps
you.  
I may still have both sizes of crank pulleys.  If you need dimensions I can
take a look through my parts bin.
