Concerning the elec. water pump... March makes a nice bracket setup that makes life easy, if you still have the stock timing cover.

I was going to get the kit, but I got goofy and bought a belt drive... which the kit does not work with, go figure.

SO, I had to spend one whole day fabbing an alternator bracket that would work with my setup... then had to call March to order some spacers and the adj. link that attaches to the bottom side of the alt., cut the spacers to length, etc. etc. ...here's the end result of that project.

It turned out better than I thought it would... made a template out of cardboard, traced it onto a piece of 1/8" plate aluminum... got the tiger saw out and cut a rough pattern, used a sanding wheel shape the edges, and used a hole saw for, well, the holes

And bolted up the polishing wheel to the bench grinder and put the final touch on it, viola!

My best time on the motor with et streets, a tremec and the other stuff my car was dynoed with (see user's ride link)... resulted in a tire spinning 12.10 @ 112

Best pass on the motor w/ new setup (again, see link) and no nitrous is 11.64 @ 117 ...still working on getting the 200 shot dialed in and should see some low 10.30's high 10.20's if I can keep the motor together long enough

Let us know how you do with spray.... and good luck.
