[Mgb-v8] shortened water pump

[David Kernberger]

Barrie et al,

	Perhaps I spoke up a bit too soon and without enough 
knowledge of the particular situation.  Please forgive me.  I saw the 
side by side comparison picture but my old slow computer would not 
show me the V8 magazine article.  My comments were based on the 
simple assumption that the pulleys had aligned properly with the 
unmodified pump in place.  Now it appears that nobody knows if that 
was true.  In fact nobody even knows what crank pulley and/or 
generator pulleys were used, or if anything else was changed at all. 
So it is about as clear as mud.

	The only thing we know for sure is that, if things line up OK 
BEFORE the pump is modified, they won't align properly AFTER the pump 
is modified, unless other pulleys are also modified.  It really is 
just that simple.

	My 2 cents worth.  I will shut up now.

Cheers,
Dave K.
