Chrome water pump pulley

[atichargr]

I found a problem with the 1929 ford model A I have running a chevy 350... the water pump pulley was up against the electric fan and I was unable to install the a/c since fan motor would be in the way of the belt (two belt system) anyway I was looking at it today and I noticed that the crank pulley is 1 1/4 inches in thickness and the water pump pulley is 1 1/2 inches thick... does anyone know where I can get a chrome water pump pulley that 1 1/4 to match my crank pulley .. that would solve my clearence problems and align my belts properly... does anyone know what the difference of a 1/4 inch is about? any help where I can get a 1 1/4 inch pulley from I would appriciate it

thanks,

Okay does anyone know where I can find a chrome 2 groove water pump pully with the grooves right next to one another without a thicker piece of metal between the grooves, or what year engine might have this...

thanks,

Pulleys!! - They can be a real pain in the neck. Chevy used a gaggle of different ones and you're correct in thinking there are some that will not line up with others..

These guys really know their stuff and they are reasonably prices. Check out their web site and if in doubt, call them and tell them exactly what you're doing and they will be able to fill you in with pulleys that work and line up exactly. They have a pretty wide range of products from real reasonable to real expensive so I'm sure they can help.

www.cfrperformance.com go about half way down the page and click on the Chevy crankshaft pulley..

Here's a link to a pdf of their catalog as well.

Thanks,

I will give them a call today and see what they can come up with..... My last option would be to convert to a serpentine set up , but I already have the chrome alt and compressor and all I am doing is tring to get the pulleys right so I can install the a/c.. I don't want to have to spend 1500.00 to convert to a serp setup....
