Water Pump Shims

Theres a link to the part. Only thing I found so far. I bolted on this waterpump

flow kooler water pump

The hole on the drive flange(on waterpump) wont line up with the pulley. I think I need the shims or a new pulley please help.

Also I purchased this waterpump because I needed one with a counterclockwise flow for my H.O. 5.0

get out your die-grinder or dremal and enlarge the holes on the pulley so you can bolt it to the waterpump.

the counterclockwise waterpumps are designed for V-belt pulley's, not serpentine, so a little modification is required.

I was going to drill/dremel the holes if I had to. That doesn't make sense though My 88' Motor had serpentine (well 2 ribbed belts) and had a reverse rotation water pump. But if theres no pulley online then I'll just adjust the pulley's holes. Thanks

Dude, send it back, get your money back and run a stock 5.0 water pump? Shit, I'll send you one if you pay shipping. lol. Works fine with my stock pulleys and with my underdrive pulleys. Came off my 86 GT.

if I'm understanding him right, he got that waterpump so he could run the car with minimal belt length and not have the belt slip on the waterpump...

my waterpump is a v-belt style from a `85 crown vic 351w if I remember right. It's the only way to run the belt completely around the waterpump pulley without having a/c or p/s...

Actually I bought it for it's high flow and beacause it was the only waterpump that was reverse flow. ALso I have to look at pics from when I pulled it but I looked a another 5.0 setup and Ill run the alternator on the driver side with the power steering below it. One ribbed belt runs between those two my crank pulley and waterpump pulley. I'm just going to drill the pulley out. Also I didn't chaeck before hand and have already installed the waterpump.

This show the alternator on driver side And you cant see but ps is below this is not my engine But I believe it was set uo the same way.

i belive it should be a 81-8? ltd with 302.
it will move your alt on top of your power steering pump. make sure you get there brackets so you can tighten the belt. i use this set up for years before i broke down and bought march bracket and pulleys.
