Default Crank Shaft Pulley

Hey folks my pulley went south and I need a replacement really quick. I have errands to run children to feed, blah,blah.... Really quick, anyone out there knows what size belt to get to keep everything moving until my evil bay underdrive pulley gets here AFTER I ORDER IT for 25.00 15 shipping ? Or any ideas what to use as a shim on the power steering pulley so I can move . She's my only car and I don't want to destroy her. I'm in Springfield Gardens Queens NYC if any one has a pulley they don't need I'd be happy to compensate you for it.

get a rental...you don't want further damage....itd be much cheaper to do so unless someone can come up with a temporary fix.

If you really are talking about the crank pulley, the car wont run for long without it as thats how the alternator spins and charges the battery.
FWIW: I wouldnt run an undampened pulley, it can cause damage to the crank bearings and journals at the nose of the crank.

I'm in dire need of assistance, my harmonic balancer took a dive into Davy Jones locker. It 86'd itself. I didn't even hear it come off until I heard my power steering pump wining. That's when I saw the pulley in the plastic tray. Anyhow, I'm trying to get some assistance the belt has too much slack...just need it tightened up a bit to run the alternator and water pump. I ordered the underdrive pulley and it's going to be here by the end of nextweek, hopefully sooner. Is there anthing that I can do? Do you have any suggestions?

If theres no crank pulley, then theres nothing there to spin the other pulleys.
