    Jay,

    It isn't necessary to start a new thread every time you have a question. I answered your question in the other thread.:grin:

    I just did this last spring, it looks like you have the 72 style water pump, so you will need that pulley for that pump, If you use the v6 water pump,you must use that pulley. the reason why things are off is because you have 1 long (3.8 v6) pump and 1 (early 350 v8) short pump). I may have a pulley for the 72 style and 1 off a v6. Hope I may have helped you out. Josh

    Ya the v6 pump will bolt right on, what pulley you need? If I understand you put all the brackets off a v6 on your 72 buick 350 and you used a 72 style water pump (i believe the short one), with a 72 pulley. which should work, but if you can list what you are using and what year its for may help us out more remember don't mix and match pulleys and water pumps. far as a price let me see how much shipping is I let you know.

    so you do have the v6 water pump pulley? If you do just buy a v6 water pump, OR used your old one (your choice). you can switch it out in 1hr... tops and your problem should be solved. and if you need a the pulley let me know what one you what. Josh
