Water Pump Pulley

hey all,
new to the Jeep world. I recently took on a 1973 cj5 restoration from a friend. it has a 304. i'm having a heck of a time finding a replacement water pump pulley. PO doesn't have it and doesn't know where it went.
any advice?
cheers,
and boy howdy i'm trying not to become addicted to this rig

I had an incorrect pulley on my generator. Somebody on this site (I can't remember their name) turned me on to someone that had a used pulley. They sent the pulley my way and it fixed the issue that I was having with misaligned belts. Hopefully someone on this forum will chime in and help you out.

 

Welcome from Michigan, You might try in Intermediate CJ5 for help, you are in Early CJ5. Welcome from Michigan, Good Luck

 

That pulley should be fairly easy to find. It's a junkyard item, not available as an aftermarket part. Suggest you try the WTB (want to buy) areas on the Jeep and AMC forums, including this one. There are many different part numbers by year and equipment, though I would think that any '73 or later Jeep or AMC with a V8 would be a suitable donor. The AMC guys track their parts closely, but they also hold them dear. You could try the Wagoneer forums - they seem to have extra engines. www.ifsja.org or www.fsjnetwork.com

Aside from a used pulley, there's this - Bulltear-Online - which may be too pricey.

 

thanks for the great replies, i'll check those resources. eager to get the motor back in the rig and fired up.
cheers,
Scott

322767 here is probably a 3227673 from a '76-up 360/401 V8 J-truck or wagon WHDC, $15 seems worth a shot. Thomas is still around and active.

thanks Timgr

Hey Big Bend Hiker, yes I did actually find a good deal on a used one and ordered it from Ebay should be here later this week. will post results after receipt and install. thanks all for the help and interest, much appreciated.

Just check your alignment with a straightedge. AMC had different pulleys for '72 and some early '73s. Late '73-up should all interchange.

thanks

good luck. it's pretty easy to get drawn in.

 

This is true, I'm becoming very aware of it. starting to let other projects go dormant while I fiddle with this thing

 

we're supposed to be working on a 4.3 for a forklift and a 4L60E for an s10, but jeep comes first.

 

yeah, the more i work on this and poke around the communities, the more i see that i'm in a very large but happy boat
