I seem to remember a cast iron pulley on the 1970 ZR1 formerly owned by Sal Carbone. That is a really original car. I may be in a position to check that one toward the end of the week.

I think that Sal told me that his car did not have the cast iron pulley. Has Sal owned more than 1 ZR-1? I only recall the gray one.

Mike they shouldn't be 1970 style tips. The car is a 1972.

ok that explains it. someone there asked me if i saw the 70 zr-1 with 300 miles on it. i went looking for it right away. i found it on the lift and started looking at it. i should have known by the floor boards it was a 72. guess i was stuck on the zr-1 part of it.

No as far as I know he has owned only the gray one. He sold it a couple of years ago, and it is now closer to me than it was when Sal owned it.

Joe-

Based on the (semi-obscure) photo's provided, the pulley looks like the typical stamped-steel unit to me...

PS - Sending my '66 BB trailing arms to Ken Carter for rebuild, also may throw in 1st design calipers for sleeving too. Thanks for the recommendation...

Yes - that's Sal's ZR1.

Did anyone observe or photograph the crankshaft pulley on this car? I'm still on a "one-man-crusade" to see if any 1970-72 ZR-1's used the cast iron crank pulley. I realize that all reported-on to date didn't have them, but I'm always curious when a another car shows up.

Joe I took this photo from the only 71 ZR1 convert a couple of years ago. belongs to a client of mine.

Thanks. Yes, that's the 'ol 3858533, same as used for non ZR-1 LT-1's (and many other applications, too).

Re: 1972 ZR-1 with 301 miles Link to Chassis Pictures

This is the best I have of the crankshaft pulley. I'll get more at National.

Also the exhaust tip labels.

That's a good enough picture of the crank pulley. It's clearly the stamped steel pulley and not the cast iron.

Well Joe here is the cast iron pulley on the last ZR1 #26476. Photo taken before its restoration. I am told that 1972 ZR1 #14454, a 16K car, also has a cast iron pulley, as does 1971 ZR1 #11560.

Damn the photo is too big. Screw it. Technology sucks. Y'all can live without a picture I'm going for surgery. Thanks to Gerry Quinn and John Hinckley I got the photos re-sized.

Excellent. Thanks. It looks like at some point in 1971 St. Louis finally figured out they were supposed to be installing a different pulley on ZR-1 engines but, apparently, they did not do it consistently thereafter if the 1972 ZR-1 that's the subject of this thread is originally a ZR-1.

Re: 1972 ZR-1 with 301 miles Link to Chassis Pictures

I am as confident as I can be that the car that started this thread began life as a ZR1. Over time I'll work at getting better pictures of the crankshaft pulley on it, and I'll dig up more history on the other ZR1s I mentioned. All this information, and the pictures in the above post came from other trusted sources. I'll dig a little deeper, it just takes time.
