I have a ford 86 crown vic ltd and I was told by the ford dealer ship that 86 threw 90 ford cars pullies are interchangeable cause my pullie is a discontinues part. So I went to a junk yard and pulled of a pullie for a mercury cougar. I was also told to count the teeth and they have the same amount of teeth but my original is 6 ins and the one i pulled off is almost 7in. I will fit in my car but will it damage my car putting a bigger pullie in.

wont' damageanything just might be hard to get your belt back on, you may need a belt a little longer to fit.
