Bob, the problem that you are having with not seeing a keyway in the pulley 
is because you rounded it off. Its a little boss that is part of the pulley. 
Get a new pulley (or used) and put it ont he car and then it should run. 
Hopefully it doesnt have bent valves. You'll know it if they are bent. GL!
