[V8] New problem - v8 tb

[Jason Wilkerson]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'line up'?  I don't have the old water pump as it got thrown away.  If I were to measure it I'm not sure how I would do it?  My thoughts are that it wouldn't take much mis-alignment to make the belt not run true.  Let me know what to measure and I will.  Thanks for the fast reply - you guys are great.
