Doug,
Yes, the late 69 and 70 pulley should solve your problem since you've got the standard long snout water pump. The 68 front strap on an 11 bolt timing cover issue isn't REALLY an issue, it'll work, it's just that you'll need to leave the bolt holding the strap to the water pump loose as you adjust the alternator because the front strap and the rear strap won't have the same arc for the alternator to swing through, think of it as a scissoring X with the center point where the alternator bolt goes through the two brackets into the alternator to adjust tension on the belt (it's not THAT far off but you get the point). Ah, you said you didn't even have the front strap so just buy the 69 strap and that will solve your problem there as well. Not the end of the world if you just run it with the back strap, other than having to put an eighth inch of washers to take up the space of the missing front strap, OR just twist in the back strap. It's definitely more solid with both but you can run it with just the back.
9799128 is the pulley number you want. 9799127 and 9799130 will work as well (different diameters, same depth)
Later!
Dennis
