Is there a way to replace just the pulley in the block? Mine are falling apart and I don't want to spend the money to replace them till I decide what I want to upgrade on the system.

On those old cars, we drill out the rivet that holds the old sheave. Then we replace it with a Harken 160 ball bearing sheave. We use a 1/4" diameter clevis pin and lock ring or cotter pin to hold it in. Works good. Brian C

Is there any way to replace the sheave at the base of the mast for the jib halyard? I don't think I have ever seen an older boat where this one is not crumbling.

It just so happens that you can do it the same way with the same harken 160 and a 1/4" clevis. thats what I did to mine it worked fine. You will have to remove the rivets but you will have to do that even if you buy a new one the harken is much better
