[Tigers] Water pump

[Sandy Ganz]

You can do it yourself with a small shop press and a socket that pushes down on the flange and lets the shaft go up as you press it. I had a picture but can't seem to find it. I recall making sure I had a block of wood under the impeller to make sure it just did not push down (take backing plate off).

I also ended up pushing it a bit too far down, and don't worry you CAN move it back up with some careful work. All you need to do is get 4 bolts in the flange and slowly go around and tighten them up. The bolts bottom end up being right on the casting face and will allow the flange to put move back up.

It was pretty easy, and I have the edelbrock pump too.

I don't have any measures as I push it as far back as I could where it did not have any rubbing but have not tried with any pulley's as yet.

Who mods the edelbrock water pump so the pullys align?
Or has measurements?
Thanks,
