Pulley dilemma
My 69 442 with factory HD cooling, 3:91 and manual steering calls for a Ka waterpump pulley (400269 wp). Is there a single groove pulley for HD cooling or do I use the Ka?

Until you find a KA pulley, use a KM. A lot easier to find. My parts book indicates 401462 HD rad or OAI. 68 & '69.

I have the ka, which was on the car 20 y/o when I got it. It doesnt look right with the empty groove. The illustration doesn't specify

I need to get a measurement of the kd off-set depth, if that lines up with the crank, problem solved. I'd be interested to find the application for w30 w/manual steering.

It's the KM pulley. I have '70 W30 4-speed with no frills. That is if you want to compare to a 1970 model

The KA and KM pulleys are almost identical. These pulleys are for A/C water pumps or HD cooling.
