water pump type
I have an engine in my 1965 vette that is a 1980-85 GM block 350 cid (truck), this is based on the numbers stamped on the block.
Everything I read says that the water pump for that year and size engine would be a long water pump.But, talking to people who have seen it they say they **think** it looks like a short pump. Is there a deffinate way to tell, and if I get the number stamped on it would there be a web sight that anyone knows that could confirm it.I'm trying to pick a pulley set for it and I have to know in order to pick the right one. Also would either type pump both fit? thanks

If you can put 4 fingers between the pump and the timing chain cover. say about 2 1/2 inches it's a long pump.. If you can only put about 2 fingers in it's a short water pump.

 1965 Corvettes had a short pump. This is a photo of a short pump. [img]http://photo.starblvd.net/~DeuceRoadster/2-4-1.jpg?i=1041869852&pw=*3B943E60CAC1[/img]

Deuce, Thanks, The pictures make it better to see than trying to explain with fingers.

also if i am not mistaken, a long water pump measures exactly 7 inches from the base where it mounts to the flat part of the flange where the pulley mounts.

Thanks guys for all your help. After looking at the pics it's definately a short pump.
