Factory original PS pulley PN should be nicely called out in your copy of the '68 AIM....

Neither pulley is a correct or, even, a usable balancer-mounted, power steering drive pulley for your application. The GM #3751232 pulley is a small block power steering drive pulley which "sandwiches" onto the rear balancer pulley for some Corvette applications. The GM #3878245 is the power steering pump driven pulley (mounts to the power steering pump shaft and NOT the balancer) used for all 1965-74 Corvette big block applications with power steering. It is a 2 groove, cast iron pulley.

Re: 68 power steering balancer pulley

Well no wonder things didn't appear right. I would have thought that after all these years I would know what was what. Guess not. I'll have to dig deeper in the box of left over pulleys. Maybe next time I'll mark my parts.
Thanks for your help, Jack and Joe.
