Re: 1970 Chevelle Plated Parts
I restore my accelerator rod and bracket in "grey phosphate" but dip the smog pulley in semi gloss black laquer. I think I have only seen 1-2 original pulleys done in phosphate before and Chris W had told me they are normally painted. I do sometimes see the water pump pulley phosphated however. The LS-5 I just sold had one.

Re: 1970 Chevelle Plated Parts
Almost all of the 70 LS6 and L78 W/P pulleys I have seen are dark phosphate,I just sold an original 6060AP and it was very dark phosphate.

Re: 1970 Chevelle Plated Parts
JRSully, Why do you suppose the Big Block water pump pullys were phosphated, whereas most 70 Z-28 restorations with (V) Flint LT-1's had painted water pump pulleys.....Were the engines dressed at the car plants or the engine plants????
Thanks for the education...........

Re: 1970 Chevelle Plated Parts
Might have something to do with the suppliers/manufacturers who made them for GM. Specs probably called for them to be protected ie: 'coated' in something. If the BB pulley supplier was also doing a lot of brackets/clips that were already being phosphated maybe they just threw the pulleys in.? Good question Chuck
