1968 L46 AIR water pump pulley

[John M.]

On final engine bay assembly I see I made an oversight.

I have water pump pulley 3848904 CS

I overlooked the 2nd AIR pully which I believe is either 3883234 or 3883235.

Mine is a very late car (18th) before final 69 produced.

Which pully would be correct?

Who would be a resourse for the correct pulley?

Neither are on E-bay which makes me nervous.

Thanks

My 1968 Chev. parts catalog (effective Oct. 1967) shows GM # 3883234 for 66-68 CORVETTE (A.I.R. w/C.A.C.)(327)(exc. Sp. H/Per.) and GM # 3883235 is for 66-68 CORVETTE (A.I.R. w/C.A.C.)w/Sp. H/Per. (327)(exc. P.S.).

My 1969 Chev. parts catalog (effective Oct. 1968) shows GM # 3883234 for 68 Corvette (327)(1st design)(exc. Sp. H/Per.) and describes it as "front (dia. 6 5/16)". GM # 3883235 is for 66-68 (A.I.R. w/C.A.C.) w/Sp. H/Per. (327)(exc. P.S.), 68 Corvette (427)(1st design)(exc. T.H.), 68 Corvette (2nd design)(exc. 427), and 68 Corvette w/H.D. (427) and describes it as "front (dia. 5 7/8)".

You might find these pulleys at Corvette Carlisle or Fall Carlisle. I have about 50 or 60 pulleys but not these two.

I assume that you're referring to a 1969 L-46; there was no 1968 L-46. Anyway, the GM #3883235 is what you need. A photo of one [not for sale] is attached for reference.

Apperantly I don't know what year car I own.

I typed 3883235 in Google and came up with a sale listing page from CorvettePartsMan.com in Fort Lauderdale.

Nice original $30.

Don't know if that's good or bad but since I can't comparison shop, I'm calling it good.!

Zip's has it in a reproduction (looks good I just installed mine a couple of days ago) the cost is 140.00 so 30 seems cheep, providing its not rusted or bent.

Dosen't appear to be.

The internet is a wonderfull thing.

My hats off to you old Timers who used to hunt and peck at Swap Meets and build Top Flight Cars.

Now it's a simple search on NCRS.org to find your part number, Google search the number, locate and pay with Paypal at 12:01 AM and wait for it to be delivered to your doorstep 2-3 days later.

www.CorvettepartsMan.com looks to be a good resource for hard to find original parts.
