Putting the water pump back on today and I seem to be short 1 bolt an others are not fitting correctly.
I took this off several months ago as part of a larger project and now that I'm getting back to it, I'm realizing that my notes and pictures are not serving me well. Here's where I stand (in frustration) right now.
As you face the front of the motor, the lower right (driver's side from this direction) bolt is secured. And that's about all the good news I have. The upper bolt on that side should be the alternator and AIR pump bracket stud but one side is too long and the other too short. I'm sure I have the brackets in the wrong order or a spacer missing.
What order do these go on?
On the passenger side, there's just no love at all. What I had labeled as the lower left bolt is tight but sticking out about 3/4 of an inch like there should be some type of bracket between the head and the pump but I can't remember if one was there. The upper bolt is just gone baby gone.
I've checked my assembly manual and shop manuals but don't see a good schematic or write up. Does anyone have pictures? The motor is an all stock 1975 L82.
I'm hoping to get this buttoned up and on the road for the last few nice weekends of the year up here in MA.
