Hi Fred, I emailed you off list a photo of the pulley. Maybe it didn't go through? Reply back to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, I am committed to switching to power steering. I am really looking forward to the 12:1 ratio. I didn't order the pump as I am still considering the polished aluminum one from Summit. I will probably go with the AGR box. Well, you had mentioned that you had a Zoops two-groove v-belt pulley for the Type 2 pump. I can definitely use it. Please let me know how we can make it happen.
