Thanks for the helpful suggestions so far. I am going to try and heat it up
with a propane torch and see if that helps first. Regarding the questions
on the differences in intake openings between an early and late head, I am
using an early intake, early gasket, and my late model exhaust manifold. I
found out and tested that the late model exhaust manifold lines up exactly
to the early head.
Thanks

If you have an impact gun you might try that, and a pair of gloves to
hold the pulley. I'm not sure if it will work, but it's worth a shot.
One note on your '69 it will have the narrow spacing on the ports of the
intake and your 75 will have wider intake ports.

Hello listers,
I am getting ready for my engine and tranny swap (can't wait for the
overdrive!) and need some of the lists expertise. I have a 1969 early
TR6
engine that I am putting in my 75 TR6. It has the 3/8" pulleys all
around
and I will be installing my 75 alternator (1/2" pulley). I have a spare
69
"dead" alternator with a 3/8" pulley and wish to switch the pulley to my
75
alternator. I can't seem to get the pully nut free on the 69 alternator.
I
have tried WD40 but I can't seem to get leverage since the shaft moves
in
order to get the nut loosened. Any ideas????
Thanks in advance!
