301 water pump
« on: May 02, 2006, 10:39:23 AM »
Ok now I got 2 t/a's in the drive way (planning on striipping one for the parts I need for #2). Problem with one car is it looks like the water pump went to $&$ on me. The engine is a 301 4.9 in 80 t/a (yeah I know but has to do for now). The fan also has some wiggle to it which I was told the bearings are shot also. Anyone have any info on relacing these?

okI have now had a total brain fart, got the new pump in but for some reason my retarted arse cant recall how the alternator braket fit in there. I feel REALLY stupid at this point and time and need some help. Anyone got any pics of how it should look.

The slot goes up.  You tighten the alt by pulling it towards the drivers side.  One bolt for the braket is on the outside top of the water pump.  That should be enough info to figure it out.

Thanks! I just needed a few hours sleep after working on the car all day and walked out and looked at the bracket and went  "OH" LOL All back in one piece now.
