Mark, I sent you an email earlier about your clarifications. As I said, I would be extremely surprised if this is a reproduction and would like to discuss details further.

The real difference is the thickness and offset of the metal.
Easy to tell when you have it in your hand. Got a picture from the side? The pump is 1973, so that pulley has not always been on that pump. |

I read that pump date as the 330th day of 1974,but untypically missing it's shift & plant code.

[/ QUOTE ] No we were both wrong - 1970 pump. 033 - 0 - 1S Day of year - year - saginaw plant The best way to tell a repro pulley, is from the side, But I do see what you mean about the line (never noticed that) ![]() |

033 0 1S-Good call Jeff.
I see that now and that makes more sense. I don't think this is at all a question about Tony misrepresenting anything. I see this as a group of board members discussing and sharing openly. ![]() |

Thanks to everyone for their input, and Mark for his follow-up email. I will take another pic of the pulley when I get home from work tonight. I am obviously not out to deceive anyone here. Thanks - Tony

Tony wouldn't knowingly misrepresent anything. Once you guys figure it out let us know.

This is an original 458DA pulley. Notice the ring around the face about 1/2" from the OD. Also, the P/N is stamped from the front side and you can see the outline from the stamping tool or die. I also have several repo's and they do not have this ring or outline from the stamping die. Otherwise they look very good.
