Waterpump

[KEN08G37]

I have a 90 lx notchback and I just recently deleted the a/c, smog pump and powersteering. My question is since I removed these things will I have to change out the waterpump because of the rotation?

I have a 90 lx notchback and I just recently deleted the a/c, smog pump and powersteering. My question is since I removed these things will I have to change out the waterpump because of the rotation?

Here's what I did...

I went and bought the ford kit for a/c delete FMS-M-8511-A50. It moves the power steering pump into the place where the a/c compressor was. The smog pump didn't matter.

So now I just use a short belt.

Thats cool, but I dont have powersterring. I bought a flaming river manual rack.

So you have only the crank, alternator, water pump...

Dunno

 

[KEN08G37]

Yes!

 

[KEN08G37]

Yep

Here's a pic of my previous set up. I basically had an idler pulley where the A/C was located. All I had was crank, alternator and water pump.

In order to run my setup with no ac, smog and ps can i use the stock waterpump? And do I need to get an additional idler pully?

anybody?

I would say unless you buy one of the a/c delete kit pulleys or an idler pulley to mount somewhere on the drivers side you will have to.

I have only the crank, alt(mounted on the drivers side) and water pump and I went with a standard rotation pump and deleted all the brackets and tensioner. I have the moroso kit for my alt. which came with a turnbuckle for belt tenstion.

Cool thats the answer im looking for. Just wondering though, wheres the best place to get a standard rotation waterpump? Summitt, auto zone, etc...?

 

[90FoxBdy]

I got mine from advance. I believe the part #wp641. If I had to do it again and I very well might have to I would do a hi flow from summit or jegs.

Do like i did but just have the belt ride under the pullie not over it!peace

Thanks for the info,yours looks great!

Go to autozone and ask for a water pump for a 1990 town car. it will look exactly the same as a 5.0 but the impeller and flow channels will be like the one above in the pictures of this red mustang. Its like 40 dollars.

Ok so I bought the standard rotation waterpump but now the stock WP pulley wont go on because the bolt holes wont line up.

Check out page 6 on the thread below. There are a few comments about ASP making a ribbed pulley for standard and reverse rotation water pumps. About halfway down page 6 is a red pulley the is probably what you need. It has two different bolt patterns.

Hope that helps,

You should be able to elongate the holes on the pulley and it will bolt up. I ran mine like that for awhile but the belt squealled. I bought the ribbed pulley from march.

Well the pumps on and working well. I got a serpentine pulley form ASP and it bolted right up. Thanks
