65 Barracuda daily driver
I haven't really made much progress. The exhaust is still not completely in. At least I now got the correct o-rings and seals from Torqueflite Pat to hook up park lock cable, shift cable and speedometer cable. The instructions that came with them said to grease them after installing on the cables, but not with a/t fluid. So just regular grease then?!
Anyways, I realized that I'm nowhere near to fire the engine up and since the Barracuda was my daily driver, I needed some wheels until it runs again. So I bought this little '95 Jeep off Craigslist. It's a Mopar (sort of), it's pretty clean inside and out, it runs well and it's got a/c! I really dig it!
Aside from the exhaust, I can't seem to find the right pulleys. Now I have four water pump pulleys and two crank pulleys and they just don't work together. I got two water pump pulleys that line up with the alternator, but they are two big in diameter to work with with the 3 groove (a/c?) pulley.
What you see in the photos below is a set I bought off ebay, but the crank pulley sticks way too far out. The seller said both pulleys came off a 1979 B300 van, but I can't imagine how that is true. With the money I have now spent on used pulleys that don't fit I could have bought a set of brand new billet pulleys...
