Crank Pulley Color

The only pulley on our '69 that was phosphated was the one on the AIR pump. The rest had a semi gloss paint. This was a late July car. Perhaps the over the counter parts were phosphated.

The funny thing is all the 458da nos pulleys ive had were always black[whether they were stamped with the part# or ink stamped],go figure..

What does a 647ap have to do with the question regarding 1969 ...647ap is a replacement pulley, and a sometimes accepted pulley for 1970 only.

Chevy started phosphating pulleys in 1965. I have seen them both ways. Tinnell phosphated the pulley on my Yenko. It was the original pulley that came on the car and still had the phosphating on it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

I have an original deep groove BB pulley that looks like it was dipped in black paint.
