Water pump pully

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don,
The 318 pully you suggested was the exact same as the 440. Why the expense 
of a pully, new belts when a simple water pump will solve 90% of problems?
I will stick to my high teck less than a $100 fix.
We lock ram horns on this issue.
Ollie
