Thumbs up A rare LT1 part just arrived at my doorstep today.
Since Speedinc couldn't come through in time for a pulley I scored this part from a legit seller in Newfoundland.

This will replace......

Yup. From what I've been told Turn One stopped making the aluminum LT1 pulleys 5 years ago. The reworked pump you can get but for a steep price.

I've got a brand new turn one pump and pulley sitting in the original box from 6 or 7 years past. One of these days I will actually install it

No. That's what happens when it sits in your backyard for 14 years.

I've never heard of this. Is it just the pulley is lighter, or are there benefits in the pump itself?

Who did the safety wire? It has 2 many twist per inch (makes the wire weak) and is not twisted all the way to the pilot hole for the lock.

I got mine about 4 years ago. When I ordered it, he said he only had 2 left.
