Looking for a in good condition v belt pulley that goes on the water pump in my 68 Newport with the 383 single groove. Let me know thanks.

 

on the that year the A/C pulleys are different that non-A/C. ALL the pulleys are different. cause chrysler wanted to spin the water pump faster to get more air. BUT then the water was to fast so the A/C pump has fewer blades. sounds backwards, but that is how chrysler did it. but many after market pumps are the same. i think the A/C pump was 6 blades the non-A/C was8 blades. on a dff subject there is a mod done on small blocks of putting a plate on back side of the blades then it REALLY kicks the water out.

 

I have no a/c in the car, but like you said there are different ones I have found and the measuremnets are not the same close but not a match, what about march performance 10012 pulley would that fit.

 

will not fit i think. its for a small block and its a high performance. meaning the speed it drives the pump at is NOT stock speed. all so on the "B"- "RB" the A/C pulley has a Diff pulley depth than a non-A/C pulley. best to find an O.E.M. pulley.

 

I found one on ebay, I need a new one because mine is a little warped not bad but when I put a new water pump in I had to put very thin washers behind it, what a pain that was and the clearance just makes it with the power steering belt. My diamter of mine is 6" and 7/8 which is not the same as this listing, these are hard to find. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOPAR-440-40...93077594&rt=nc


Also found this said it fits chrysler 383 and works with stock brackets

That Ebay item does NOT look like a BB pulley
