Need some info here and I am sure all I will hear is how great this thing works for everyone. Cause that is just my luck with this stuff. I am trying to get this piece of sh!t on my car. 396 short water pump. Well first thing is No matter what, I can not get this thing to line up to get any on the other screws in. I wish the bottom holes just went all the way through the housing. I will probably drill and tap to the next size up on the bottom two holes. I run out of adjustment on the right side. It needs to be pulled down that direction to line the others up. I bottom out the threads before I can get it to line up. Second the need little adjustable thrust bearing hits the bolts mounting the cam on. I will just get smaller diameter bolts so it can clear no biggie there. Also I just bought a new 8" dampner and it warns of it possibly hitting the bolts holding the second cover on. I am sure I can figure that out if it does. Also looks like I will have to grind on either the water pump or the cover just a little to get it to clear. Great use of 140 bucks. On a much brighter note I got to meet Tom Mobley today. He cam over and helped me dial in my new camshaft. Very nice person and I appreciate the heck out of it. Even let me borrow some tools. Thanks again Tom.
