WATER
PUMP 68-70 1600 #210-26
Fan
holes are 1 9/16 apart, center to center, when measured
along the "sides" of the flange (not measured diagonally
over the center). You can also measure the "right side" of
one hole to the "right side" of the next hole if that is
easier then trying to see the "center" of the holes. If you
have the pulley off, the bolt pattern is easier to measure
than using the pump.
Flange
height (distance from backside of rear plate to flange
surface that pulley rides on is 4 1/16 inches. It takes a
double groove pulley which also runs the air emission pump
(if still equipped).
This
water pump is designed to be used with the fan spacer 210-06
and either the USA 7 blade plastic fan or the non-USA
4-blade plastic fan also listed and pictured on COOLING
page. The 68-70 USA cars also had a one inch spacer mounted
directly behind this water pump. Originally the cars came
with a clutch fan that was declared unfit for duty. The
210-06 block replaces it. If you have one you are removing,
the allen bolt in the end of it is left-handed thread so you
turn it to the RIGHT to loosen it.
After
35+ years your car could have almost anything cobbled up to
work on it. This is the only correct part for a USA 68-70
1600. (Or at least these specifications...) There are lots
of different pumps as this engine was used in other cars
with other water pumps. Using the older style pumps present
problems as the radiator (and its location), fan shroud,
fan, pulley, alternator, alternator brackets, alternator
location, and crank pulley were different as
well.
Sometimes
engines get swapped by unknowing mechanics that don't know
(or don't have access to) all the auxiliary parts. The
changeover to the 68 -70 parts happened at approximately
engine #R 58000.
