Info needed: Ford V8 water pump rebuild kits

[Lynn Eades]

Mike, I have a kit here. (I cannot remember if it came from James) It comes with the carbon bonded to the seal and also a "fibre" washer. I assume it goes inside the impellor? (nowhere else to go) BTW, the WWII Jeep uses the same type of seal however the seals were separate from the carbon and the jeep bearing has a bigger dia. shaft.

Tom, you might have some trouble running single pulley pumps. The reason why the double sheave, double belt arrangement is fitted is because it takes a lot of power to drive the fan. You can of course over come this problem by over tightening the single belt that you are left with. This however is likely to cause premature failure somewhere?
