KB and KE pulleys needed

Looking for a good 399402 KB crank pulley, and a 399401 KE water pump pulley.
Mostly need the crank pulley, as I have found they repo the water pump pulley if I can't find it.

I believe KB went with KO water and KH steering. (1972) 6" water pump

KS and KE should be a match with KA steering (73-76) 6" water pump

Guys, I was advised by user Octania that to match the KG pulley I have for power steering with the short water pump that I needed the KB and KE pulleys to match.
Per the info he gave me in another post, assembly manual for 1968:
Crank
KB 399402
2g [* Note 1]
6.4 x 2.2"

WP
KE 399401
2g
7.10 x 2.0"

Belts: Aft groove: C-WP-Gen belt #399596;
2nd groove: C-WP-PS belt #399594;

I see. All of the KE water pulleys i've seen were 3 groove.......That being said, I do trust Mr. Witt's recommendations. If he says there is a ke 2 groove out there, then there is.

Worse yet, there are 2 different KB's

Good grief, Olds Parts Namers... I can see having a W LH and W RH xst manifold, you were running out of letters by then... never ming the K thru Q you skipped over... but with 26x26 possible letter combinations, maybe you could have eliminated duplication here?!?!

PS I am sure I have a KB crank pulley handy

Cool if you're interested in selling it let me know. That seems to be the harder one of the two to find. PM me if so.
Thanks

Ok so it looks like I've found the 399401 KE pulley, and it's on its way.
But thanks for the offer to check if you have one. Now I just need the crank pulley and I'm all set.
