ok, my threads on the C2 pump were stripped so I Could not tighten the belt any. either replace with another C2, or finally do the saginaw swap. As I have a borrow car this week, we're doing the swap!
so, a few months ago I bought two different pumps and brackets from two members, figured I would use whatever was in best condition, sell the other. turns out they are different brackets on both even though both 'should' be the right one. whoda thunk it, right?
One bracket is too long, and the mounting holes to the adjustment plate are not on the same plane. This is the cast (aluminum?) bracket.
The other bracket is the stamped steel plate one, that goes around the back of the saginaw. Great! heard thats the prefferance as it prevents it from torqueing too much. Problem is is that it is way too narrow, and the spacing for the pulley is slightly off (2mm?). It does have a metal spacer piece, but that makes it way too dang long.
I am thinking that I need to use the second bracket, and just shorten that spacer to fit properly?
here are some pics
