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 Tom

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.
