Re: Water pump pully

[roger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Where can I find a smaller pully for my 383 pump/fan?
I want to try it.  Seems logical

Expense of a pulley? The ones I use were1/2 inch smaller. We wont lock 
horns. You can do what you want. What i do works though and everytime.. Last 
one I fixed was Bill Parsons (former carlisle winner) black 64 Dodge. It 
went from undrivable in traffic n hot days to no trouble at all in about 10 
minutes and for about $2 and some paint and elbow grease.
Why does it work? because it gets the water pump and fan speed up above the 
level of trouble to what it would be in moving traffic. Sometimes on a hot 
motor (as in modified) idle water pump speed in gear is just not enough to 
produce enuf flow through the rad and the fan is not making enuf wind. A 
small reduction in WP pulley size makes a signfincant increase in WP speed 
which is also fan speed . However Ollie, if your'e happy and your problem is 
solved then i am happy. I am only trying to help.
