Does anyone here know where I can order a water pump pulley for my '84
245, B23 non- turbo? I checked FCP Groton's website, and it's not listed
there. Any other ideas?

Thanks
Tom

Your pully is broken? How did that happen?

I may well have one in my box of parts.

Just driving down the road to deliver presents on Xmas Eve. Heard a
clunk and all the warning lights came on. Shortly thereafter the temp
gauge started rising. I pulled immediately into a repair shop that
happened to be open and popped the hood. Sure enough, the double grove
bell pulley that turns the water pump and fan was broken and the belts
were dangling. I left the car at the shop and called for a ride.

The mechanic is someone my brother has known for many years and seems
competent, so I just need to find a pulley and he's going to do the
work. Oddly enough, I had all the parts in the car to do a timing
belt/tensioner/water pump/radiator hose replacement, but my regular
mechanic has been too busy lately working on dump trucks and such to get
to it.

Need to get the part as soon as I can and get it to him because the shop
is 35 miles away from here and all I have for backup is my wife's 1966
Chrysler new Yorker. If you have one and can ship it quick, I can PayPal
you whatever you need.

Thanks
Tom

Weird, the pully is steel, I've never heard of one breaking and am not sure
how that would happen.

At any rate I do have one, it's dirty but otherwise in good shape. How's $15
shipped sound? Paypal to this email addy is fine.

If you want it shipped quicker than standard USPS, I'll do that and you can
pay whatever that shipping comes. It'd be coming from the Seattle area.

James, sounds great, I sent you an email with all the details. You're a
champ!

Thanks

Perhaps he can ship you the old one for examination.

It should fit in a Priority Mail flat-rate box; costs about $3 and should
be delivered in three business days. This is frequently cheaper that regular
mail, and makes both cost and shipping time predictable.
