Re: Short water pump VS long water pump?
I have a 72 truck and due to material on hand have installed a 350 engine with a long water pump. Now I cannot find a lower radiatior hose to fit it. I cannot go back and istall a short pump due to using an aluminum procomp timing cover that is so thick that the short pump will not seat.
Can anyone help me with a manufacturer and part number for a hose that works? Thanks |

Re: Short water pump VS long water pump?
41GMC- is the hose to long to fit or is the angle on the waterpump outlet wrong? I would try trimming a stock one to fit if possible.
My 72 truck has a short pump on it and the motor in it came from a 78 chevy c-10 with a long pump. My issue is that you cant get to the timing mark with a timing light. With the long pump on it you checked the timing between the pump and the timing chain cover. Now the short pump sits against the cover and I have no way to check the timing. I just set it by ear now. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: Short water pump VS long water pump?
The stock hose for a short pump is all wrong in angle due to difference in pump inlet location.

Re: Short water pump VS long water pump?
Actually the short pump is wrong in both bend angles and lengths.
