water pump

Greg,

in my experience the 351C, 351M & 400 all used the same pump, same length snout. The water pumps for the Windsor motors & various big blocks use different castings.

Sounds like something wasn't assembled properly. Take it back.

By the way, who manufactured the pump?

I found that in some cases, when the pumps are put together, even when the pump is "new" old pulley's are used or it wasn‘t attached correctly to the shaft. Check to see if there's a difference between the old and the new one. And check the diameter of the two pulley‘s too. You don’t want that thing pumping water to fast.. Merry Christmas.

okay

there is a reason why I was tagged dumba$$

the pump is fine. The aftermarket damper requires a spacer to push the crank pully out to the proper length. Now I have a second water pump if anyone wants? It is brand new and has the nice aftermarket goodies, cavitation plate and high output config. If you want..shoot me an email

greg.jacobs@jacobsracing.com I paid 110 you can have it for 100. Aluminum pump for the 351c. yes, it is the right size afterall.

Ahhh...

aftermarket parts. Say no more. Glad the problem is resolved, I'm sure somebody will want the 2nd pump.

Happy New Year

George
