/6 Alternator Pulley, same as '71 911 ? Options

[ArtechnikA]

went to cannibalise the alternator pulley from the /6 to replace the seriously wonkified one on the 911. the 911 pulley came off easily. the pulley on the /6 may have last been installed at the factory - i've never replaced the belt (not in only 23,000 mi ...) first surprise - the nut was -not- the 24mm the 911's is (requiring another trip home for another handfull of wrenches and a glance at the owner's manual ...). it's 22mm - and i'm glad i had the straight-handled 22/19 factory box end wrench, because nothing with any kind of offset fit in there... wedged the pulley holder tool against the bottom tin and eventually managed enough torque to loosen the nut.

the nut, spacer-thingie, and outer pulley half came off just fine, along with 5 good shims (there -should- have been a sixth shim, between the spacer-thingie and the outer pulley, but it could have fallen off where i didn't see...) i then spent the next hour trying to get the inner pulley half off. it does not -feel- like the 911 inner pulley, and i didn't bring a mirror to verify. anyway - it wouldn't budge, so i had to leave it behind. the outer pulley half does look identical tho.

i'll try Holbert's tomorrow for a new 911 inner pulley half, and if they don't have one (as is likely - they don't stock stuff for cars this old ...) i'll build up the wonkified drive lug and order a new pulley half from Stoddard.

local PCA has a drive to Longwood Gardens for the tree-lighting going Sunday, and i really want to have the 911 looking and sounding good for the trip.

the 911 ('71 E) has a Motorola alternator - i don't know what kind the 914/6 has, and i was disinclined to pull the relay cover to check regulator brands ... so - does anybody know for sure how you get the /6 inner alternator pulley half off, and is it the same as a contemporary 911 ?
