EMPI Polished Aluminum Degree Pulley – 00-8914-0 Enhance your engine's performance and aesthetic with the EMPI Polished Aluminum Degree Pulley. This standard-diameter pulley is precision-machined from high-grade aluminum and features a show-quality polished finish. It is designed to provide significantly better timing light accuracy when tuning your air-cooled engine compared to the single notch found on factory steel pulleys. The 00-8914-0 features full 360-degree timing marks that are screened on using a specialized process for long-term durability. The distinct blue degree numbers and markings make it easy to read even in low-light engine bays. This pulley also incorporates a 5-hole weight-reduction design that adds a modern high-performance look to any vintage VW engine build. Detailed Vehicle Compatibility This standard-size (6-3/4") pulley fits Type 1 and Type 2 air-cooled engines across these specific years: VW Beetle (Standard): 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977 VW Super Beetle: 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 VW Karmann Ghia: 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 VW Bus (Type 2): 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 VW Thing (Type 181): 1973, 1974 Product Highlights & Features High-Grade Aluminum: Precision machined and high-speed polished to a mirror shine for show-winning results. Full 360° Markings: Screened-on blue timing marks allow for precise ignition and valve setting adjustments. Standard Diameter: Maintains the factory 6-3/4" outer diameter, ensuring your cooling fan and alternator/generator spin at the correct OEM speeds. Lightweight Design: The 5-hole pattern reduces rotating mass compared to solid steel pulleys, potentially increasing throttle response. Technical Specifications Part Number: 00-8914-0 Outer Diameter: 6-3/4" (Stock Size) Material: Polished Aluminum Marking Color: Blue Installation & Maintenance Tips Belt Selection: This pulley is designed to be used with a standard-length fan belt. Always check for proper belt tension to prevent slipping or premature wear on the water pump/alternator bearings. Bolt Requirement: For a secure installation, it is recommended to use an EMPI standard-length pulley bolt and washer (sold separately). Avoid Impact Wrenches: When installing the pulley, avoid using high-torque impact wrenches as they can distort the aluminum mounting hub. Use a pulley holding tool and a torque wrench to reach the factory specification. Cleaning the Polish: To maintain the show-quality shine, periodically wipe the pulley with a high-quality aluminum polish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface or damage the blue screened-on numbers.
