Any insight on the pulley set up on this original '66 375hp. I know 375hp cars were not installed with air pumps and I have never seen this pulley set up on any other '66, was this only on Cal. 375hp cars?http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/227554/an/0/page/8#Post227554

are you talking about the idler pulley. if so that is correct on 66-67 396/375 Chevelles 65 396/425 vettes and I think 66 427-425/450 engines. a very rare item.

The idler pulley is correct for 1966 Chevelle L78 engines but not (:noway:) 1967 Chevelle L78 engines. Being the car is a 1966 though, the idler pulley setup is correct.

This idler set up (along with the 3-groove cast iron crank pulley) was used on 65 Impala 396/425, 66 Impala 427/425, and 66 Chevelle 396/375. It was not used on any 67's.

I don't know whether or not it was used on 65 396/425 Vettes or on 66 427/425 Vettes.
