Thanks for the info.
I called them twice trying to get answers. The first guy insisted that all corvette pulleys were the same and it should fit. He wanted me too send him pictures. I did, he never called back. The second time I called I talked to someone different. He knew right away what was going on and gave me the number for the single groove pulley.

How much was the GM pulley you bought?

that's a great price. The aluminum one was like 50 bucks. Was that through GM?

Bought the pulley from Tom's Classic Parts. GM no longer makes it.

Just wanted to follow up on my PS pump pulley misalignment issues. For my installation, the PS pump drive pulley (1 groove) added to the CS is GM 3751232BB. The PS pump (1 groove) pulley is GM 3770509CE. The pulley supplied by Borgeson (Paragon 1353), two groove PS pump pulley would not align with the GM 3751323BB pulley.

The GM 3770509CE pulley ($19.95 )is a more cost effective alternative to the Borgeson 801201 ($60) IMO.

Pulleys are now in alignment.
