If your talking small block Ford, spacers available to get you lined back up.

1- Look at P Products site to see if they show the correct one

2- If not, look at the spacers available, figure out roughly what you need. Find something the thickness you figure is required (stack of washers or perhaps a next size up nut), gently snug the pulley and use a straight edge from the water pump to measure where your at. Adjust plus or minus until your dead on, order the correct spacer.

you could hang a plum bob off the supercharger pulley and then use a straight edge of the balancer to get your measurement in inches. Had to do this for a buddys car.
