I got apparently the same brand aftermarket water pump for my '62 Herald
a few years back. The one with the pressed on pulley that's 1/2" too
long. I had to put spacers in my radiator mounts, as the fan was hitting
the radiator. 

To the originator of this thread, Stay away! Get the original keyed pump
with the original geometry.
