Hi guys,

unfortunately I did not note the location of the different sized water pump bolts when I removed them from the 1971 351C and stored them in a bag. Does anyone have a scheme or drawing with the bolt sizes and which bolt goes where?

Thanks.

Michael

I would just use trail and error. Not to many possiblities. If you put a long bolt where a short one goes it will not seat or thread all the way in and with a short bolt misplaced prob will not even start.

You can also just put them in the holes with the pump off the car and get a good ideal where they go.

 
Here is another gripe with a vendor...the infallible ARP.

You would think THEY would detail what bolt goes where on their bolt kits. WOULD IT KILL THEM???

 
I did a water pump today. Here ya go:
