I have a 1967 Cutlass with a 1969 455 in it. I need to replace the power steering pump pulley 2 groove. Am I looking for a stock 1967 pulley or a pulley for the 455 which is not original. Will any other years work. Thanks.

 

Kinda depends on which pump you're using, and which belt, pulley, and accessory format you've got.

I suspect we'll need pictures.

Also if you can clean yours up to find any numbers/letters stamped in them. Chris (Octania) has created a real nice spread sheet showing what pulleys came on what years/engines. We might be able to key out what you need from that.

Pump and pulley are still on the car can't really see any numbers will have to pull it and check out numbers. Thanks for your responses.

 

If you can, find the code stamped in the water pump and crank pulleys. Those are the ones that you need to identify then key out what power steering pulley you need to match them.

finding a kk on water pump pulley kh on power steering pulley any help?

 

Yup. Those are the codes.

Contact Octania to see what he can tell you about the proper P/S pump pulley.

I'm not sure whether the same pulleys were or were not used with some of the '67-earlier vs the '68-later setups, so it would be good to know which type of pump you have.
A picture would be great.

'68+ PS pump
KH is a common 2g pulley
why do you need one?

Easy to bend them trying to remove, if of the era before a puller lip was present.

I have 1 or 2 handy on the shelf.
Always some on epay, sometimes on the pump for cheap.

Your next step is to identify if your pulley is held on with a nut, and therefore is keyed to the shaft, or is a press fit and has no nut on the shaft.

 

Chris, is he missing the ~6" "spanner" bracket that connects the P/S pump bracket to the first exhaust manifold bolt, or is he not supposed to have one?

Octania, so I have a 1967 cutlass with a 1969 455 and a 1968 power steering pump? There is a knock or rattle from the power steering pump or pulley figured the pulley may be warped. would a 1968 KA pulley work since the pump is a 68?

 

You have a '67 car with '69 engine, accessories, brackets, and pulleys.

The configuration of the brackets had a major change for the '68 model year. There are variations after that, but they are relatively minor.

Here's a '67 engine:



Here's a '68 engine:



Here's a better picture of a '68 engine:



A rattling or knocking sound from your P/S pump may well be a loose pulley - if the nut is loose, remove the pulley, clean up the bore and the shaft, reinstall, and make the nut good and tight and see if that cures it.

I have a 68 cutlass w/t a/c pump with pulley as pictured ... if that's what you need
