Re: [Chrysler300] A/C idler pulley update

[Tony Rinaldi <awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave & Mark,

I looked back into my research notes re the specs on these idler pulleys
which were for 1959-1965 A/C RB engines which use 7/16² belts.

The Mopar pulley accepts 7/16² belts and is 3 3/4² in diameter. The
aftermarket replacement pulleys at parts stores accepted 3/8² belts.

Dave,
Cancel that order and check www.bouchillonperformance.com and look for part
number BPE4025. It is exactly what you're looking for, and it costs less
than $24.00. You might have to wallow out the flat spot on your existing
bracket, but it fits and works well. I did this on my 300H this Spring
before I drove to Myrtle Beach.
