Pully missmatch Edelbrock Water pump to Main Crank Pully

I have an Edelbrock #8844 aluminum water pump and the pulleys line up OK. Do you have #8844. In your pic your ballencer looks quit deep. Is it the same thickness as the original?

I found an old pic of my original stock ballencer, notice the distance at the timing pointer and the end of the ballencer.

* balancer - duh

I did measure the Water pump hight. It is app. 1/2 inch further out..so the issue is there. Have to check the Waterpump Order details as was hand carried from the US i.e. left the box..

I'll be removing my water pump soon (my post on my fuel issues) to get to the pump eccentric and I'll measure the water pump snout depth.

...In My View, It's Not the Waterpump Height!
The Damper Balancer is Clearly, Thicker.

You have 3 Choices!
1. Re-Install a Correct Thickness Balancer.
2. Spacer the Pump Pulley Outward with an adaptor, and respect the 5/8" Pilot. Or find a Shorter Pulley of the appropriate Diameter.
3. Find a Shorter CRANK Pulley, so the 'Sheaves' Line-Up. This Pulley Now, Hanging Out farther, WILL Interfere with the Chassis Sheetmetal. When Installed in a Pantera, That Is.

...At a Last Look, It Looks like the Balancer is Not Installed All-The-Way ONto the Crankshaft. I would Take a Real Close Look at This!

Marlin, Team TX..
1)I will do a re-tightening on the Balancer. Think we did 90 libs..
(the professional tool I have is tention scale limited (clic) by 80 libs but will redo.
- the balancer is ATI and suposed to fit 351C, it is thicker on the outside but different on the inner
side, as it goes in quite a bit. (unfort. the old balancer got scrapped...mistake ..I know but was
fully worn out)
2)The Edelbrok pump is “tale” by app 3/8” compared to Original Ford.. I did COMPARE it with the
old one still at hand
..HOPE it is not the crank side, as the balancer is ordered according spec of 351 C
(I cross my fingers as no return for 400 USD part)

A) Can PLEASE someone Measure the hights from Block to outside of Crank pully...as now I am getting worried on fitment per Marlin's mail..
B) where dos the Belt go for Waterpump and Generator INNER or OUTER side??? have NO picture for this done
- I srcap the old AC pump by rotary pump in FUTURE, so any solution should fit ..

Tx... for a v8 Block junior country Germany..without your EXPERTISE no way out...

woow all this discussion helps...
I might have done a mistake. Just now took the Crank pulley off and it looks there is an ADAPTER which I did not realized when I put it all together Saturday. Need the correct Torx tool to open the screws...

Thoughts?
