Just another funny question. I was putting the fan back on and now it dont fit. I have the pulley on, the spacer then the fan and the bolts barely fit thru, but not enough to grip the threads on the water pump.... I know the easy fix is to get a little bit larger bolts, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and I want to make sure I am not missing something...
Yes it is funny how the fan bolts always seem to be a problem when rebuilding an engine or just replacing a waterpump.

I had to use 2 1/4 inch bolts instead of the 2 inch bolts....... I guess it is suffering from shrinkage..LOL
I can tell you that the t/c 2.3 and the pinto 2.3 have different waterpumps. The center pin is a different size, but the rest of it seems the same.
