Off the subject but the 2 photo`s of Matt and Ron`s engine bay are great. Except don`t forget that the rare and special p/s pulley is bright finished not black. This is a unique pulley to 64 with P/S and A/C. All examples I have ever examined are bright cad.

The protected hub area of these pulleys I have observed often still retain the gold iridite coating above the bright cadmium, while the remaining unprotected surfaces show only the bright (now dulled) cadmium plating. Not saying they don't exist, but I can not recall ever seeing a black painted double pulley. However, the same can't be said for the single pulleys, where I have seen the black painted (stamped with part number) and unpainted (lacking a part number). We recently had a thread on the single pulley within the last couple of months.
