14 tooth crank pulley for 1600 TDC pump

[Art Smith]

does anyone know where to buy 14 tooth crank pulleys for the 1600cc FFord engine? the pulley will be used to drive a TDC oil pump. the pulley must have a keyway for the crank key, the polished (smooth) surface the front crank seal rides on, and the appropriate distance from the front of the block. my preference is for aluminum for weight reasons but will gladly purchase steel if that's what is available!!!

I thought that I had such a pulley but just went out and looked and couldn't find it. In any case it was made up by someone by adapting a stock Ford pulley with a welded on 3/8 pitch steel pulley. I have done two custom dry-sump systems in the past 6 months, both times I got the crank pulleys from CV products and adapted them to the engine's stock pulley with various machined adaptors. CV Products has a nice system to locate the pulleys with two dowels, and various other bits to make up the flanges, etc.

Aluminium pulleys will wear a lot faster than steel, fwiw. If you only want t do this once, use steel...
