Lou Earle Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Why do you need a new one? Is it the narrow or wide belt version? Quote
p24-1953 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Posted November 3, 2009 lou, im planning on adding a/c to the car and was planning to run the compressor off the crank on the passanger side. i have been told on here that i should get a second pulley and have them welded together. does that sound like a good plan? or do you know of a easier way?

jd52cranbrook Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) I posted either here, or in a another thread how I had two pulleys welded together to run my AC set up. Well,,, it broke. Not where I thought it would, between the two pulleys, that weld is good. Kind of hard to see because its chromed, but it is a good weld. This is where it did break, right where the collar meets the face plate. I bought another normal pulley, and a matching pulley without the shaft collar for $100 from Don's Antiques Parts in Niles, CA. He has almost all you want for Mopar, but he knows he has the goods, and his prices are no low. Anyway, if you compare my chrome to the one I bought, you can see the back plate on the chrome one is "internal, sandwiched between the two" That is actually where the break occurred. But I have no idea how that pulley was made with the back plate actually in front of the pulley... This time, for now I used the 2nd pulley as a pattern and drilled 4 more holes in the mail pulley, tapped them and inserted a total of six bolts to attach it to the first pulley. Confused yet? Bottom line, it works for now,,,, Butttttttttt I am not going to keep this set up. I am looking for a machinist to fab me up a dual pulley to match mine, only "one piece" Not sure of the material to use yet. Take a good look at your original pulley and see where the back plate is, ...... Edited November 4, 2009 by jd52cranbrook Quote
p24-1953 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Posted November 4, 2009 how did you know the pulley had cracked? Quote
jd52cranbrook Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 It had a rattle at first. Kind of a slight noise like a fan blade hitting something, not all the time, just random. That's when I started to pay more attention. Finally the rattle got to be pretty constant, then the slight wobble in the pulley itself told me to pull it to investigate. With the belts off I could move it ever so slightly. The way I have it set up now seems very solid to me, (the six bolts through the front pulley into the back plate of the rear pulley). But my engineer friend just shakes his head and said it would fail over time. Hence the search for a one piece unit to get made up. I would imagine there are mopar dual pulleys out there for the newer models. But I could not find any to fit in the pile of pulleys when I purchased the last two I have now. Quote
jd52cranbrook Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) If your still having trouble locating a pair of pulleys, I know Don has them. 65 for the main pulley that has the hub and timing marks. 25 for the additional pulley with no hub These were narrow belt pulleys but he has both. Added,, these are his prices, not mine. I would only want shipping cost in return. If you like I can go and pick two out for you that seem good. Keep in mind I do not have a lathe to put them on to check for true. But mine turned out good. Let me know. Don's Antique Auto Parts 37317 Niles Blvd Fremont, CA 94536 510 792 4390 Don is a character, a elderly gentleman that wears a very old stove pipe hat and overalls. But there not to much about Mopar he is not familiar with. Edited November 6, 2009 by jd52cranbrook Quote
Andydodge Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 I've just been playing with the pulley on my 41 Plymouth, it had the hub that goes into the timing cover held onto the steel pulley by 8 rivits, which had worn and there was some play between the rivits allowing the pulley to move ever so slightly(lol)........I removed the rivits and replaced them with 8 5/16 cap screws, I tapped the hub for the 5/16" UNC thread, then installed the bolts from the timing gear side, as the pulley was held onto the hub from the engine side of the hub. While I was doing this it occured to me that you could swap the pulleys around fairly easily by bolting a different pulley onto the plymouth crank hub, ie, you could get an aftermarket aluminium Chev/Ford/ whatever pulley and have it drilled to suit the Plymouth hub or have one made up in aluminium and drilled to suit........am gunna investigate this more as while the original pulley seems fine now, its a wide pulley and I want to run a narrow pulley when I replace the engine with the hotrodded 230........dunno if this helps , but thanks for the pics as they have helped me......regards, andyd Quote
