I have the short water pump. I test fit the bracket and pump yesterday and the pump was on there really snug no movement or flex. My problem is a clearence issue with the alternator belt, it rides just about a 1/2 inch from the body of the pump inbetween the pump and pulley and when running I am afraid the belt will rub due to the natural movement of the belt in motion. I am also not sure if I have a pump for a long water pump or short. I am leaning toward it being for a long pump as the pulley lines up with what would be a third groove on the crank pulley if mine had one. I am considering buying a 3 groove and also a high rise alternator bracket to move it inboard and up so as to allow for the PS pump. I have A/C so it is on the passenger side or I could do something different. Anyone know how to tell if you have a long or a short pump. I recieved the pump for free through a friend of my dads and he has passed so can't get the info on the pump right now.
