This is an issue with my 87 Fifth Avenue. I have done some front engine work and am putting the car back together. I failed to take detailed pics before removing components... I have put the pump back on, suing the schematic from the air pump section of the FSM, since it has a air pump. I have the two holed spaces in the two far side holes on the right as you look at the water pump. The lower hole part is less deep, I have that facing to the rear for the front ps bracket and the slotted adjustment for the pump in that lower hole. Sure seems tight to me and with the pump mounted from the front bracket to the rear bracket the pump refuses to pivot in the slot, it is stuck. The FSM and an older parts manual show another spaces for that lower hole, but I would expect it would only make things worse. I also don't seem to have that spacer. I hope someone has a pic or can tell me if the pump is installed wrong. I have one pic of what the lower hole install looks like. I tried for other perspectives without much luck. Would appreciate any advice.
