Need Help Identifying This 3 Belt Crank Pully from A 273 Commando Engine With A/C

[Bossanova5]

Hello All,
I was at the Fall Fling yesterday and spotted this 3-belt crank pulley on a 67 Barracuda Commando Car with P/S & A/C.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the owner to ask about the crank pulley.
This pulley didn't have the usual rubber damper A/C pulley I have seen on most 273/Commando's with A/C.
The A/C appears to be factory installed. I believe the number stamped on the front of the A/C pulley is D1362 (See pictures).
The picture on the bottom is the A/C pulley I have, and am accustomed to seeing on 273 A/C cars.
Any help with identifying this triple crank pulley is much appreciated.
Thanks

hey man good talking with you yesterday!

seeing your pic, i'm 99% sure that's an aftermarket add on single pulley to the factory dual pulley. i have one kicking around here somewhere, i'll dig it up and snap some pics.

Looks like same pulley my '69 340 w/ac has. My car was factory AC and factory manual steering. So apparently if you got AC you got the 3 groove crank pulley with or without PS.

Yes, good catch ours is factory ps.

These are the pulleys with the rubber damper on the outer A/C pulley. The one I posted pictures of at the top with the number stamped in it does not have the rubber damper A/C pulley.

it looks very similar to this:

in case you can't make out the wiriting:

D13262-6 ACME

it's for an aftermarket AC set up

dims: 6.5w 3.5t (mount base to front lip)

The original A/C pulley has an isolator (thick rubber section). That isolates the vibration from when the AC compressor comes on. They were used to ensure that there was no chirping from belt on the front end accessory drive units. A solid pulley will also work but may make noise. 65

Cool tidbit of info, thanks! I wondered why ours had rubber on inside.

Just helping a member. Your one of the problems on this site. You can never let it go. Just thought I would let you know my name is "Steve Kiss" MY ***. Don't you have a protest to attend out there ? Put a coat on I heard its ice cold.

yeah, yeah, just helping a member while trying to peddle your wares in a thread AND playing your usual: LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!!

why are your chones in such a twist? YOU are the one that threw a tantrum and swore to never post again!
(for those of you not following along, this is an ongoing play that he does-- it's not the first time)

so you can call out on people as much as you want, but when they point it out on your side you get all butt-hurt about it? grow up.

anyway, here's the heart of the matter: you didn't even read OP's ask. he clearly stated that he wasn't looking for that style of pulley with the vulcanized rubber dampener. so maybe you should add a pill to however many it is that you take for reading comprehension.

and by the way, the weather is absolutely wonderful out here, thanks.

I'm running a Sanden A/C compressor so I'm not too concerned about the belt chirping when the clutch engages.

Keith,
That Acme pulley is a quite rare aftermarket adapter. It is cast in a foundry by the Acme corporation that is not a subsidiary of the Chrysler corporation. In the 60's as we all know it was not as common to have air conditioning as a standard option on a car as it is today. And we also all know Air temp was the Chrysler subsidiary... So what happened here is the dealerships had a boat load of cars without factory air and customers that wanted those cars with air. So the dealerships scrambled to install air at the dealership in any way they could based upon what the individual owner of the dealership decided. They are not impossible to find but not as common as factory installed crank pulleys. You will find these ACME aftermarket pullies on Mopar, Ford, General Motors tractors etc. I wouldnt be surprised if you found one on a windmill or hit or miss pump. So if you have a chance to snag one get it my friend!
