Figure 1 - Prepping The Block
Disconnect battery; remove all existing accessory drive brackets and
components from motor.
Remove water pump, scrape away any existing gasket material with a
gasket scraper and dress surface with a Scotch Brite® pad.
Clean and prep threads on engine block at water pump and driver side
bosses by crank (for power steering kits), use a 3/8-16 thread chaser if
necessary. Thread chasers are available at your local auto parts store or tool
dealer and are different from a thread cutting tool.
Apply RTV sealer to one end of the three 3/8-16 x 3” threaded studs and
thread two studs into the driver side water pump mount holes and one stud
into the upper passenger side mount hole and tighten.
Apply RTV sealer to one end of the remaining 3/8-16 x 4” stud and thread
into the bottom passenger side mount hole and tighten. The studs can eas-
ily be tightened by threading two 3/8-16 zinc coated nuts onto the stud and
tighten them against each other to act as a drive nut.*
Figure 2 - Install Alternator & A/C Brackets
Install the large O-rings into both sides of the passenger side compressor
bracket by seating them into the recessed groves, install the small by-pass
O-rings in the same manner. Place bracket over studs and seat up against
engine block.
Install the large O-rings into both sides of the driver side alternator bracket by
seating them into the recessed groves. Place bracket over studs and seat up
against engine block.
For kits with power steering
– apply anti-seize to the threads of the two
3/8-16 x 2” socket head cap screws and thread through the power steering
bracket, alternator bracket and into engine block and finger tighten.
For kits without power steering
– apply anti-seize to the threads of the two
3/8-16 x 1-1/4” socket head cap screws and thread through the alternator
bracket and into engine block and finger tighten.
