I talked with the guys at t bird products and they said the bird pulley wouldnt work. If Carl dosent have anything I think my best option is change to a 57 fairlane pulley set up on the alt and balancer with a 3/8 belt and use the mr g wp pulley I have

I checked and the smallest 1/2" wide pulley is around 61/2 " diameter,  Carl

Thanks for looking Carl, unfortunately that is the same size as the pulley I have on the car.  It looks like I have 2 options. Get a pulley made or maybe change the alt and dampner pulley out to a 3/8 belt. I just talked to autospecialties and they can make one for about 150 bucks. Thanks for the link Charlie.

What thermostat do you have in it now?  If you don't already have it, I HIGHLY recommend that Napa #6 170 degree one I mentioned.  That made ALL the difference in the world for me.  

I dont know right now whats in the car, I still havent got the fender project finished I am waiting on a parking light housing to get delivered, after that is done I am going to get back on the cooling issue and replace whatever it is with the thermostat you recommend. Do you happen to have the part #

The NAPA # 6 has a part # of THM6

Just like Paul says...that's the goofiest part number I've ever seen and I fully expected the guy at the NAPA counter to treat me like we were at Autozone, but it's a legit part number and made all the difference in the world on my 292.  

thanks guys I have been ill and havent been on i will sure give the thermostat a chance one i recover

Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery.................
