Firstly, sorry for the constant spamming with questions. I seem to be constantly needing information!
I’m on to restoring the AC pump and am getting stickers made. It seems to of been rebuilt at some point, the numbers cast on the side lead to the Tecumseh HG500 (identity plate removed 😔) but the pulley is a different brand - Baruffaldi. Is this normal? Looking at other HG500 it doesn’t have this fitted.

Chris, I don't think the rest of us are so lucky (!) I'd never heard of Baruffaldi, but the licensing of the Tecumseh design by Aspera just leads so much possibility, and there is nothing that would say this is wrong (esp for a late build goose)--.Lee
Hi Chris,
Another thing to bear in mind is that Baruffaldi may be the manufacturer of the compressor CLUTCH, not necessarily the compressor. Frankly, I'd be inclined to replace the old piston compressor with a Sanden 508 rotary compressor.
Chris I found a guy in UK who has a NOS clutch cover or at least did when he sent me a list. I sent you a text message as need to explain who he is!
cheers
Larry
