Glenn-

One of the Chevy pulleys will work, usually found in chrome at the speed shops,
but I don't remember if it is short or long water pump version. You will have to
drill a new set of mounting holes as the distance from center is not the same,
unless you were fortunate enough to find a water pump with a dual set of holes 
in
the hub. Shaft hole is the same. Suggest you take the new pump with you when you
go shopping.
