    It was a '62 V8 Fairlane which was replaced by a '66 Mustang GT with a solid-lifter HiPo 289 4 speed. Pony cars and even big block muscle cars were cheap and plentiful back then. And yes, I was one of the few who had a set of metric sockets which I used for working on Honda motorcycles.

    For those interested, here's a photo of the damaged crankshaft timing pulley. Any tips on removing the damaged woodruff key from the crankshaft slot? I've been hitting it with a metal punch/hammer combo pretty hard... not moving.

    So “fused” to CS?

    heavy angled punch would be my 1st choice
    Or short pointed punch (on different/multiple areas)
