Correct Water Pump w/ These Pulleys?

Researching I think this is correct but I value you're opinions.

A/C and PS application on 455 motor.

71 Supreme
water pump pulley code KK
crankshaft pulley code KC
power steering pulley code KH


Milodon 16285 6.0"

My notes indicate you will need a KF water pump pulley. KK pulley is a 70 pulley and is designed to be used with the 5.5" 70 waterpump. The 70 5.5" water pump uses different size radiator hoses than the 71/72 5.5" water pump. Looks like you have the 6" pump which is correct for your application. I did not verify the part number. The crankshaft and power steering pulleys you listed are correct. Hope this helps.

This was the diagram I was referencing from the 1971 Assembly manual.

KK - Water Pump Pulley
KC - Crankshaft Pulley
KH - Power Steering Pump Pulley

Looks like you have the correct information. I was going from notes that I had on my phone. Sorry for the bad info.

FlowKooler #1775

gbledoe3:
I used a FlowKooler pump #1775 on my 375cid small block build. It is all aluminum construction like the Milodon pump with a 6" hub height, and my pulleys all line up perfectly. Summit has them for $116 with free shipping. Here's a link:
