[Tigers] Water pump flange height

[Sandy Ganz]

Tim -
 
I just did that to an Edelbrock victor pump but don't have the dimensions handy.  The type of balancer does make a difference, if stock, I'm not sure what it is, but I do have a a flat face aftermarket pulley with some of Dale's pulleys. And I had to push it back (the flange on the pump) just about to the back of the pump housing. I had to back it off as it seems the back of the flange had a taper and it gets into the bearing and causes interference. I pulled it back just until the rubbing was gone. Looks pretty close. If you do go too far it is not that hard to pull it back forward, I just put in 2 of the bolts in the pump face and slowly used it to force the flange forward by the bolts pushing through to the pump face. Left a small mark but otherwise fine. Just watch the back of the pump to make sure youi not pulling the shaft out of the impeller. I was also working on a spacer for use with a stockish set of march pulleys that likely would work fine
 without moving the flange back, but fan likely would still be an issue.

After all that sorry I can't help with the stock measure.

Listers,

Can anyone confirm the stock pulley flange distance for a 260 Tiger.
Based on my research it should be 4.875 inches from the back of the pump
bolt on flange to the outer face of the pulley flange. I realize this is
different than the shop manual. I am going to go press two pumps but do
not have a pump to go off of that is off of the car. (never thought to
save one) if anyone can confirm this before I go jack up two Edelbrock
pumps I would be VERY grateful.
