Hi Owain,
I see Michael has already posted the main part of the answer. I would just add
that there were positive results from such a change in the in-depth cooling
study a few years ago that is posted on the TE/AE website.
http://teae.org/cooling-the-tiger/ Somewhere deep in the study they report
positive results with conclusions similar to Michael's.
Anecdotely speaking, I would say my Fairmont pulley has been helpful. I have
heard others who have used it report similar favorable results. That, along
with running the engine distributor vacuum advance off manifold vacuum instead
of ported vacuum and a six bladed fan have been especially helpful for me with
the idle and low speed cooling. And that was after putting in a recored
radiator.

Hi G ene,
What's the motivation? I could understand _increased_ diameter for high revving
engines, but why smaller? More water flow is unlikely to aid cooling and could
make it worse. Recirculating airflow is the only issue I've encountered with
tiger cooling whatever the engine or climate if the radiator works properly.

Subject: [Tigers] Reduced diameter water pump pulley
Hi All,
A couple of years ago there was someone on the East Coast making reduced
water pump pulleys that looked stock. Does anyone know if they are still
available and who would be the person to contact?
I currently have one of the Fairmont pulleys, but was thinking I might get a
more stock looking one if they were still available and reasonably priced.
Thanks, Gene
