Does anyone know if the KH power steering pulley is available from parts houses? Mine seems to be making a noise and is wobbling some. I removed the belt just to make sure the noise was coming from the pump or pulley and the noise disappeared. I can move the pulley slightly from side to side. I tried to tighten the bolt holding the pulley in place and it seemed loose and but would not tighten. Possible stripped.

More likely the bushing in the nose of the housing that the shaft rides in is shot.

Joe I too was thinking it might be the pump bearing and not the pulley. I will remove the pulley and inspect the pump shaft to check for play.
I ordered a new KH pulley with washer and nut from inline tube. The used pulley I had had a slight wobble
The pump is new and was installed last year because the old pump was leaking. I used the right spacers and could not get the alignment perfect but close to it.
I suspect that the slight misalignment and pulley wobble may have caused the bearing in the pump to wear. If the pump bearing is bad I will replace the pump with a new one.

I installed the new pulley and believe the problem was with the old pulley.
