*If running power steering only
1) Disconnect Battery; remove all existing accessory drive brackets and components from motor.
Disconnect all existing power steering lines and cap.
2) Remove water pump, scrape away any existing gasket material.
3) Remove existing power steering bracket and pulley (press on pulleys require the use of a
special puller to avoid damage to power steering pump and pulley – see tool list)
4) Clean and prep threads in cylinder heads, use a 3/8–16 thread chaser if necessary. Thread
chasers are available at your local auto parts store or tool dealer and are different from a tread
cutting tool.
5) Thread the 3/8-16 x 2-1/2” threaded studs from the power steering skin board into the driver
side water pump mount holes and tighten. The studs can easily be tightened by threading two
3/8-16 nuts (not included) onto the stud and tighten them against each other to act as a drive nut.
Apply RTV silicone sealer to engine block and water pump.
6) Install gaskets and then water pump. There should be no more than 5/8” of thread left exposed
on studs. If more than 5/8” thread is showing, remove stud(s) and clean out threads then reinstall
threaded stud(s) and check again. Apply anti-seize to the exposed threads on the studs. Also
apply anti-seize to the threads of all the remaining fasteners at this time.
7) Thread the two 1-1/2” long spacer nuts (from the power steering kit) onto the exposed studs
with the hex end out and install the passenger side water pump bolts to complete installation of
water pump. Tighten firmly.
8) Attach the steel three hole power steering bracket to the front of pump with two
3/8-16 x 3/4” socket head cap screws and tighten firmly (46 ft/lb). Attach steel adjustment bracket
to the back of the power steering pump with one 3/8-16 x 3/4" socket head cap screw and finger
tighten.
9) Place pump assembly on motor and align three hole steel bracket with water pump boss by the
spacer nuts. Thread the 3/8-16 x 1" socket head cap screw through the bracket and through the
3/16” load washer into the water pump boss and finger tighten.
Swing the rear steel bracket up and align with engine block lower mount boss, thread a 3/8-16 x
1-1/4” socket head cap screw through the thin 3/8” ID slide spacer, the rear steel bracket and the
21/32” long rear spacer into the engine block and finger tighten.
Note: the spacers have a lip that locates them in the adjustment slot of the bracket.
10) Thread a 3/8-16 x 1” socket head cap screw through one thin 3/8” ID slide spacer, the
aluminum power steering bracket and one more thin 3/8” ID slide spacer and into the power
steering pump. Finger tighten.
11) Thread the two remaining 3/8-16 x 3/4" socket head cap screws through the aluminum
bracket and into the water pump spacer nuts and tighten firmly (46 ft/lbs).
Do not install top bolt if installing kits with A/C #FM2113PC or #FM2114PC.
12) Install pulley:
For pumps with a keyed shaft – Place the pulley onto shaft, install thrust washer and nut. Tighten
nut.
For Pumps with a press on shaft – Always use a pump pulley installer to push the pulley onto the
shaft. The hub of the pulley should be flush with the end of the pump drive shaft. Follow the
instructions provided with the pulley installation tool.
Do not press or hammer the pulley onto the shaft, this will destroy the pump.
13) For bracket kits that are included with a serpentine conversion kit skip the next step and go
on to step 15
14) Install belt (34-3/4” recommended); adjust belt tension by moving pump in brackets.
When proper belt tension has been achieved, tighten all fasteners firmly. Check belt tension again
and adjust if necessary. Do not over tighten belt! Serious damage may occur to the accessory
drive bearings resulting in premature wear. Go to step 16.
15) Only if you have purchased a complete serpentine conversion kit. Align pump so that the fill
cap is level, tighten all fasteners firmly. Install power steering lines and fittings at this time. Return
to the main kit instructions at this time.
16) Install power steering lines and fittings, inspect hoses for kinks or nicks and replace as
necessary. Fill reservoir to the proper level and test run motor. Re-check belt tension and adjust if
necessary. Re-check belt tension after 100 miles.
