The reinforcement would drop down inside the pulley where it should go ( it sits up against the water pump hub, then the pulley goes on) but there was about .030"...

I believe this nose was used exclusively on big blocks and/or small blocks with the 11" clutch (168 tooth flywheel) The original GM number is 3733289 for this bolt and it's not just a plain 3/8...

Motor mounts ??
(Preview)
I am swapping out a 283 and installing a 0.030 over 402 BBC in my 65 Parisienne. Would the optimum be factory rubber style or aftermarket poly? What parts have others used with success? It will be attached to the original PG (after a redo) or possibly a TH350 if finances allow.

Next to the power steering pulley part number it reads: "1969/ALL WITH 396-427 ENGINES T/W FIELD INSTALLED CAR COOLING." What is considered 'car cooling'? In other pulley applications,...

Starts quiet, not constant then becomes louder and all the time. Sounds like it's near the right rear tire. Travels right through the body and it's alarmi...
