Preparing 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 Briteо pad.
Clean and prep threads on engine block at water pump (3/8-16) and driver side bosses (7/16-14) by crank (for power steering kits). Use a 3/8-16 & 7/16-14 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 four 3/8-16 x 3” threaded studs and thread studs into the water pump mounting holes and tighten.
The studs can easily 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.

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. 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 7/16-14 x 2-1/4” 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 7/16-14 x 1-1/2” socket head cap screws and thread through the alternator bracket and into engine block and finger tighten.
