Just purchased an Avanti water pump. It is in the mail. Would like to know if it will fit the pully arrangement on my 63 Hawk 289 2 bbl with factory air? My car has the factory 5 blade fan with fan clutch. Any body done this? jimmijim

I hate when that happens. John, do you know what size the hub hole must be to accomodate the Avanti pump. I could prepare some different pulleys that I think I have lying around before it gets here. I really wanted to use the heavy duty pump. Thanks for the quck response.…
Read the full replyNo, the hub is too big to fit your pulleys.

You should have just ordered the HD Lark/hawk pump. I'm not sure if your belts will line up with a modified pulley using the Avanti pump. I think the hub is way longer to go through the thick cast iron Avanti pulley and into the fan clutch.

Jim,
It looks like you'll just have to get an R motor for that Hawk! BTW, don't forget the Allegheny Region Corn Roast on Sunday.

Which venders carry the HD Hawk/Lark water pump?
