I dont want serpentine. I just want the right pump for this bracket, then ill be set.

Man short of finding a parting out truck on cl, I'm not sure what would be the best direction for you to go. If you could find something parting out, you could get the pump and bracket as one and be set.

Craigs got the pump. He took it and the bracket off an engine in his barn yesterday.

I was just hoping someone would say "oh yah they changed the pumps this year" and I could go buy the right one and be on my way. Instead of installing old pump that will probably end up failing lol.

Also we dont really have these parts yards you guys speak of. Most of these rotted back to the earth many years ago. Parts yards here are all 2000 and newer stuff...

Options never hurt. Especially at that price lol.

My logic is not logical. You should know this by now.

Yep. I have figured that out.


One of the reasons that this thread is so much fun.

 

[y5mgisi]

You can just swap that housing onto your pump. This way you would have proper clocking and your current pump.

Do the serpentine swap.

Never look back.

Are you saying Craig doesn't have a serp setup sitting around on any of those 90s something trucks in his yard?
