Installation Notes
1969-'76 vehicles (original pump casting #3853692) require the included spacer to be placed between the pump and the alternator bracket; Some applications (original pump casting #364790) require power steering bracket spacer (included); Some vehicles (original pump casting #6263701) require a through hole instead of the threaded hole for the power steering. If this is the case, drill out the threads with a 3/8" drill bit; Check closely for any interference with drive belts; some filing for clearance may be necessary with some applications; Installation is the same as for original equipment water pumps. Consult service manual for specific procedures, if necessary; CAUTION: Be sure that fan bolts don't protrude through the hub so far that they hit the water pump housing; NOTE: Removal of backing plate is not recommended, as there are no user serviceable parts in the water pump. If backing plate is removed, use no sealer on O-ring equipped models, and use conventional gasket sealer (not RTV silicone) on gasketed models.
