WILL IT FIT?? Avanti water pump on a 63 289 2 bbl Hawk

Question

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

No, the hub is too big to fit your pulleys.        wrote:

I hate when that happens. John, do you know what size the hub hole mustbe to accomodate the Avanti pump. I could prepare some differentpulleys that I think I have lying around before it gets here. I reallywanted to use the heavy duty pump. Thanks for the quck response.jimmijimJohn Poulos wrote:

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.
