Well Listers,  thought since I found the company that sold that pulley I would
call and ask if it was still available. Unfortunately, sometime in 1989 they
sold the last one. Both they and Fird show it as an obsolute part. IF we could
find what truck/car/ van etc it was made for, then maybe there might be a
chance of one still being in a salvage yard BUT they have crushed all the god
cars to make room for thro awys models.
At least the Fairmont pulley supposedly works. Mine looks like it has 3
grooves but looking closer the fron ring isnt made for a belt, so ther are
only two places for belt fitment.
35 days until April. Winter will be over in about 3 months for Mark and the
other NE members and its super warm in Denver today. Its time to get the fluds
checked and dont forget to check the tire pressure.
TtT

The Tiger C4JZ-6312-A pulley is a Ford industrial part, I purchased 10
of these in 1986 from (TIPCO) Tuban Industrial Products Company "Ford
Power Products" in Mountain View Ca. This TIPCO pulley is an updated
Tiger pulley (looks like the original pulley on steroids, see photos)
The original Tiger pulley is stamped metal, the TIPCO appears to be
machined from a solid piece of metal, lathe marks are visible. The Tiger
weighs 1 pound 2 oz. the TIPCO weighs 2 pounds 12 oz. I measure the dia.
of the Tiger pulley as 6 3/32".
TIPCO C4JZ-6312-A box label note the "5-82" date..

As you can see the C2OZ pulley won't work on the Tiger as it is too
deep.

I don't know if the "TIPCO" Ford pulley is still available, List price
in Aug.1986 was $21.85.
