Thread: Acceptable amount for the water pump pulley to be out of line???

Tweet

the pump deal would be the last option i did it on a blown sbc in 30 ford and other things to get it to fit .i would go after the spacers first and the back side of the pulley i would look at taking 040 off the back side of the pulley and the rest off the spacers your gaskets added up to a good 080 i bet

C9x, ah ha, very good point! What about if/when I have to replace the pump! That's a big plus for taking the excess off of the spacers!
Pat, gaskets are already the thin ones. I'll get a closer measurement on it today....
THANKS Bill

yes that is a good point on the pump but if you out of town you will have a hard time getting a stock pump that gm stop using in 69? like i said that would not be my first option BUT if all else fails

OOOOOh, GM stopped making the pumps in '69? hmmm, yeah not going to find one at just any old Auto Parts store.... Thanks Pat!!! Bill
