BIG Trouble
Hi all,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

<o></o>
I have a 1955 f-100 pickup, with a 223, straight six, I recently stripped down the entire front end and engine down to the block to start painting and all that good stuff. <o></o>
Well the painting is done and started the assembly of the engine, here is my problem. As I put the "crankshaft pulley" back on I didn't line up the timing marks, so as I removed it again, I broke the pulley....! <o></o>
And in the process of removing it, I upset the timing by turning the crankshaft....<o></o>
Now I can’t find another pulley for sale anywhere! They only make the part now for the V8's. What should I do? Should I have the part welded back together or would that upset the balance.<o></o>
Also, to fix the timing, Can’t I just start it up, (once I get the pulley) and adjust the distributor to the correct angle till she fires correctly?<o></o>
