Re: Long water pump vs short water pump
well, i finally got the pulley on, it has to be shoved on with 2 hands, just enough to get the nut threaded, then thread the nut on and presses it back on.
now i think im missing the last bracket i need to use the bracket in the last pic....guess its on to the parts board. from the pics ive seen with lwp, they are using the brackets i have in the last pic...

Re: Long water pump vs short water pump
Yes, you need the power steering pump brackets similar to those shown in your 2nd pic. Those are for a long water pump. There are a couple variations though. Does your water pump have threads in that boss, or is it a smooth bore hole?

Re: Long water pump vs short water pump
Just a little info, if you decide to say go with one of the aftermarket serp kits 90% of them need a long water pump. I have a Stewart high flow unit in a short config and do not feel like shelling out another two bills to buy a long one.

Re: Long water pump vs short water pump
who would have thought this would be this much of a hassle. im now in search for that third little bracket to mount to the manifold and block...
AND, since i sort of beat the pulley on to the pump, i kind of dont trust the pump now...and the pulley is also suspect too since im pretty sure i had the pulley fully seated and it seemed to wobble a little when i spun it. this sucks! im going to order a 72 c10 steering pump, since its the most similar i have found to mine (mounting holes, return line, keyed press on shaft). that way i can double check this pulley as well...good grief

Re: Long water pump vs short water pump
I beat on one once [can't member the brand] but I was using a puller like your suppose to, but I guess your still not suppose to hit them, had to do it a 2nd time soon after.

Re: Long water pump vs short water pump
did your pump break or go out?
what i did was set the pulley on straight, put a socket the same size as the pulley end, and slap the socket with a hammer. feels the same as it did before (as in i dont hear anything rattling around inside), and obviously havent ran it yet, but after the comment on the first page, i really dont wannt blow up my steering box. i just ordered a 72 c10 pump from oreilly for 50 bucks...

Re: Long water pump vs short water pump
the pump shaft had enough slack to crack the casting in the back.
