Hey I'm removing my power steering pump n going manual. I have to grab a standard water pump right?. My question is will a 1984 pump from a mustang work.

This is for a 89 fox 5.0

Check to make sure all the inlets/outlets line up.If i remember right standard rotation pumps have the inlets/outlets at different angles than reverse rotation.You might have to change the timing cover to get things right.

You will DEFINITELY need to change your timing cover.Earlier covers also have a mechanical fuel pump so youll need to get a fuel pump block-off plate for that.And youll most likely have to block the dipstick hole too,if the cover you get has one.
