You have a "short" water pump. It could be a 215 shortened(Dan Lagru
does these), a 300 Buick, or one of the Buick V6 pumps. If it is a 215,
the outlet pipe is almost horizontal. The 300 pump has a distinct down
angle to the outlet. & a bolt hole at the top of the pump that has no
corresponding surface to bolt to on the 215 front cover. Someone else
will have to help you with V6 identification.

By the way, the 300 pump moves more water than the 215 pump, & rebuilt
units are about $30.00 at the local discount/chain auto parts, 1-2 day
lead time. This is the short pump. Hole spacing for the pulley/fan may
differ from the 215. Both are 4-bolt, but the bolt circle diameter can
vary.

Who knows where I can buy a Euro spec LH drive dash for my '77 Roadster?

Also looking for a 4.6 motor
