I bought a 72 442 with no motor. I have a 70 455 with a 6 inch water pump I plan on putting into it. The problem is it has no pulleys or brackets. I have a power steering pump bracket and a KA pulley off a core motor was planning on using. It will be an air car planning on vintage air system. The vintage air site shows I need a KK pulley and a KC pulley. Is this correct or is there other pulleys that will work for this? I sold my high school olds back in 1984 now Im wanting to get one fixed up again.
Thanks for any help

This was my first post to see if I could get some good info. I can't believe nobody out there has any idea .

 

 

I don't know anything about what Vintage Air recommends. The factory crank and water pump pulleys you can see on that chart I posted. 409807 water pump pulley is KE. I don't have the code letters for the matching 409806 crank pulley. The 1968-71 cars with the 6.1" long pump used 399405 (KC) crank pulley and 399404 (KF) water pump pulley. These should be functionally equivalent to 409806/409807.

 

Sparkey:
I have a '72 442 convertible with a 350, the 409806 crank pulley should be stamped "KB".

Be aware that the 1970-older water pumps have a larger inlet nipple (2") than the 1971-up water pumps (1.75"), and the radiator outlet nipples are different sizes as well (1.75" vs 1.5"). Just something to keep in mind as you may need an adapter to get the lower hose to fit.

 

Thank you. The water pump i bought has the 1.75 in let. I'm in need of a water pump pulley KK. I have a KC crank pulley now. If anyone has one let me know. Thanks

 

Hi Sparky, welcome to the site! I'm doubtful of your reference as I've never seen a KK pulley. But agree with Joe that you need a KF to match the KC crank pulley. I just sold a set to a friend last week and put a KC and KF on an engine to make sure they matched and they did. Olds had a lot of pulleys and some combinations look close, but if not perfect it will case early belt failure and maybe even throw a belt. John

 

Thanks. If a kf is what matches great. Does anyone have aKF pulley. I New to this and just need a set to get car going. The pulleys I have are a Kc crank and a KA power steering.

 

I'm sure I've got one, maybe several but they're likely buried in the back of the garage. I'd encourage you to create a part wanted post saying what you want. This isn't a large or heavy part, but sometimes it helps to post your location. That can help with an estimate for shipping. And right now I believe there may be a problem shipping across the US/Canada border. John

 

Thanks. I live in Jesup Iowa 50648.

 

I pmed you
