If the front cover on your 260 is the original design, the proper part is :
Edelbrock 8842

You will need to use a hydraulic press to push the hub back to the correct
depth to match your current pump.
You will need to make a sleeve 5/8 id and 1 inch od to keep your pulleys
concentric with the shaft.
As an alternative, you can find a pulley from a Ford fairmont I believe. It
has the same offset has a tiger pulley with a 5/8 hole.
There was a guy on Ebay selling them regularly about 3 years ago.
There are two flavors of 60's vintage Ford SB water pumps. With backing
plate and without.
Without is the earlier design and was replaced some time in the 65 model
year.
Pull your water pump off the car, if you can see the impeller you have no
backing plate.

8841 Backing Plate
8842 No Backing Plate
