Thx Dale….Also with the ol pulley it was difficult to keep the slack out
of the belt…it would not tighten properly…btw roy I got silver lake info
thru a link you gave me refering to another guy in new bern…thx
darrell also came recommended thru salem imports in Salem va.
Darrell has been working on air cooled V W’s around 28 yrs.

Roy.
The crank pulley was small . I took the car to Darrell Phillip at Silver lake V W .  Understanding the the history of the ca and  knowing it was kind of neglected mechanically, I asked him to go thru the engine . He said the smaller pulley would make the engine run hotter too. The crank pulley costs 15$.
Darrell did a great job at a very price..
