I'm using a Edelbrock Aluminum pump that was intended for 70 and up SBFs. This has the radiator hose connection on the driver's side. I wanted this for my radiator setup which has the top hose on the passenger side and the bottom hose on the driver's side. To go with the above pump, I used a front cover that had the bolt-on timing pointer on the passenger's side (so it would be visible). Fortunately, my damper had the timing marks located for a pointer on the passenger's side too. If the damper had ben marked for the opposite side, I probably would have used one of those stick-on timing tapes to relocate it. Interestingly, I was able to use stock concours 1966 radiator hoses even though the lower hose is on the driver's side now.------------------

[B]I like to use the kind that doesn't leak.
What kind might that be?Someone asked for more info. Well the engine is a Ford Racing 345hp GT-40x heads crate motor from CJ Pony parts. I shold be picking it up by wed. this week. I know it comes with a balancer and timing chain cover but I may have to change both to get the timing marks where I need them. I am looking at using a set of "March pulleys" for water pump,alternator and crank. NO P/S on car sucks HP. Should I go with cast iron or try an aluminum w/p. Trying to lighten up the nose of this car. Seems to be very tail happy. ------------------
