Richard,

It sound like you need the short shaft water pump. 
AMC have a few different length water pumps although I
have never seen one that was that far off.  You didn't
put the fan spacer between the water pump and the
pulley did you?  

If you measure your old water pump from the face where
it bolts to the timing cover to the collar on the end
of the shaft, I will see if I have the correct one for
you.

Hi everybody. Can anybody please tell me where I might
get a waterpump 
for my Javelin. I bought one from NAPA and it fits the
bolt linups but 
the pulley is a good 2 inches to long. This water pump
will not line up 
with the P/S or Alternator. What am I missing please.
This is a 
beautiful car that cannot wait to run again. 
   
  Thanks,
  Richard

I thought I would point this out because I am so
involved with the 63 and 64 model year cars right now.

I have a pair of front seat belt assemblies taken from
a 1963 Classic 550.  They were fastened into the car
through holes in the floorboard which were reinforced
with large fender washers.  There were no installed
nutplates for the bolts.  

I am putting these seat belts in a 1964 Classic which
has the nut plates installed, but the diameter of the
"shoulder" area of the hold down bolts is larger than
on the 1963 belts.  In fact I'm having to enlarge the
holes in the end plates of the 1963 belts to make them
fit. 

There are no rear seat belts in either car and there
are no installed anchor points for them.

Just thought someone would like to know.

Since you'll have them off, you really should have the
shoe-contact-point spots filled in with weld and ground flat. It's
normal to wear grooves after decades of use.

The shoes won't sit flat and parallel to the drum surfaces; the shoes
will catch on the drums as they operate, making noises; shoes will wear
out twice as fast (since they are not parallel, the closes spot to the
drum wears the most).

Get anyone with a MIG welder to just fill up the grooves with a bead of
metal; you can grind them flat enough with an abrasive disk in a 3/8"
electric drill.

Every once and a while, when I turn up the dash light dimmer, my gas
gauge and temp gauge mysteriously fly up to the top.  It only happens
every so often and normally doesn't happen at all.  In other words, a
mystery.  I changed the headlight switch and this didn't help.  Since
it only happens occasionally I have just lived with it.  Any ideas
though as to what is causing it?

A: You got the pump for the wrong model or too new. Ask for one for a V8 
Hornet and you should get the correct one.

sorry about that last post from me.... i hate computers. hit the wrong button. 
   
  anyway, how much different is a bellhousing on a t-56 6 speed than a t-5? there is a guy on ebay who has 5 t-56's out of mustangs for a decent price. im wondering if a bellhousing for a 304/t-5 would work for a t-56 behind the 304. that seems like it might be kinda fun and one of a kind rambler with a 6 speed in it? hehe. thank you. you all have a good memorial day weekend and stay safe.
