Crank Shaft Pulley Questions

[83Blzr62]

I can get a used pulley from a '96. I need one because I am converting to serpentine on my rebuild for ease of use and the cooling mods. It is worth getting a used one or should I get a new one? Is this as critical as the blancer? He wants to sell it for 70 and I can get a new one for 163. It has minor surface cracking, but looks ok.

Stay away from it,It's to old and for $163 you can't beat that. The 96 is no good and yes this item is VERY important!

That is what I thought.
Thanks for the advice,

The snout on the 1994 or newer damper (part that slides over the end of the crank) is shorter than the 1982-1993 damper to accomodate the reluctor wheel located just ahead of the crank timing chain sprocket. For this reason, you can't swap dampers between a mechanically fuel injected engine and an electronic engine.

Some have machined a spacer, which would work fine...., but not worth the trouble is you're looking to buy a new damper anyway.
