73 NCRS question
Hey guys, I've got a quick question that I cannot find an answer to online or through the forum search. I am working on an NCRS build on my 73 454 4speed car (hopefully top-flight someday but we'll see how this goes). When I bought the car it came with a small block out of a Buick so of course nothing matches and I am slowly piecing things together. I have pieced together most of the accessories but am still missing an alternator pulley. I am currently discussing purchasing one from a very knowledgable member but would like to gather some knowledge myself. Aside from the fact that I require a 3" pulley, is there anything else I should know? Material type, painted or coated, any stamped numbers, etc. Any information regarding this or anything 73 specific would be amazing. Thanks!

AFAIK, it's a stamped steel pulley, don't remember anything special about it. Haven't looked closely at an original LS4 in years so won't guess.

I knew you had a sense of humor!
One day, hopefully, I will get to meet, in person, the great protector of the NCRS reputation!

Hope this helps!
Also...FYI, apparently, a couple of different alternators were used on the LS4 depending on the A/C with power steering options. GM 1100950 (42 amp) with broadcast code RF and GM# 1100544 (61 amp) with code RH. The GM# 1102353 was used on the LS4 42 amp and carried and broadcast code KA. Alternators were mounted upside down so the part numbers could not be read from above.
