Thanks in advance! When I built my engine, I had a goal of it being a nitrous motor never getting over a 200 shot. I have always liked mechanical fuel pumps so I got a race carter and then needed a timing cover that had the spot for the pump so I bought one with that and have no idea what year it is from. I had to go to autozone and spend a half an hour matching up water pumps until I found the right one for it.

A year later, I now have a procharger setup and need to use the standard mustang length water pump. This one I have sticks out about a 1/4" to far to line up with the crank pulley. Is there a water pump pulley that is recessed or is there a timing cover for the fox body that has the provision for a mech. fuel pump?

Here is a pic of my current setup if it helps any:



Thanks again!

Scott

u have the wrong water pump pulley for a mustang. your pulley has groves and a fox body pulley does not its a flat pulley because of the way it runs. i think a mustang looks to have more offset in
