Overheating at idle

I can check into this for sure. I am only getting the water pump pulley made as I plan on using my current 318 2 groove crank pulley. That is unless I can find something on eBay this evening that will work.


Reading through your post I see you are getting 5 inch WP pulleys made. Are we sure that’s big enough to fit over an aluminum water pump. In my research (going off memory here) that a 5.5 inch is the smallest diameter that fits the later pumps.

If we can fit a 5 inch on there I’m all for it. If you verified a 5 will fit I’m in. Even if it’s 5.5 I’m in.

Just let me know what he says.

THANK YOU!

Edit: I just read your post again and I see you verified it would fit and since you are looking at 1973 numbers that’s certainly an aluminum pump.

Sorry if I’m not making sense. It’s been a crap show with my parents since Sunday and I don’t see that getting better anytime soon.

My dad has dementia and he fell twice Monday. He’s been in the ER since 2000 hours Monday.

So getting stuff organized and trying to get the VA benefits he earned is taking a big toll on everyone. Plus trying to line up an outside facility to rehab him so he can come home.

So if I’m not making sense I apologize.
