We have looked at doing the pulley in reproduction but honestly the numbers do not work. The cost of tooling vs. the possible selling price and time, the market leaves us with lots of pulleys and no profit. In fact I estimate it would take more than seven years to break even and that is tripling the number sold based upon the inquires we had when we talked about this a couple years back. It has taken two years to sell out the alternator plugs we made although I did have another batch run as we needed a couple.

If you can live with the smaller pulley diameter from the standard Thunderbird/Ford/Lincoln pulley they can be found more commonly and much cheaper!
