I need a dual groove water pump pulley for my 235. Does anyone have source?
Thanks

I hate to tell you, but those things are more rare than chicken lips. Really hard to find, but worth it to keep looking.

If its for a late model pump you might be able modifi one made for a v8.

What about the dual grooved harmonic balancer,would that work ?

There was an interesting thread on the Inliners' BB recently on the advisability of using V-8 or 292-six multi groove damper on a 235 or 261.

I have one of Buffalo's modified 292 dampers, with two grooves, on my 261. So far, so good.

I apoligize for making the statement I made and leaving you hang out there.
If you are trying to make a two groove pulley for the stock water pump on a 235, here is what I did. I used a stock one groove pulley from a 350 and cut a second one groove 350 pulley to fit on the shout of the first 350 pulley. I basically removed the snout off of it and slipped on the first pulley. I adjusted it to line up with the two grooves on my two two groove harmonic balancer, spaced it out slightly and welded the second groove pulley on the snout to line up with outside groove on the balancer. It works great and looks very acceptable.

The only one I have seen came off a 60 wagon with dealer installed air,it was another pulley made to go over the existing pulley. It was strange seeing a 6 cylinder 2 door wagon with dealer installed air,the compressor was just as large as one for a caddy and would imagine it bogged down the 235 some.

I have the balancer issue taken care of. I am using a dual groove balancer for a 250.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't want to put a lot of work into manufacturing or modifying something and then find out that there is an easy alternative.
