Besides, after 0ver 30 years of rebuilding VW engines, I have never found a need for a degree pulley. Most of the ones for the T-1 engines that I have seen, are smaller in diameter, and therefore making the cooling fan turn slower. Not a good thing on an air cooled engine. end of rant -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
