Hey Chris..... I utilize a near myriad of Loctite products in my restoration business. It is amazing what has been developed since the blue and red of years ago. I am following along on your journey. I have a spreadsheet of projects to complete on my 4A. one of those projects is a noisy water pump. I may pass on the pulley conversion if yours doesn't work out. The belt should be aligned with the 3 pulleys. I restored my 4A in the early 80's. I am going through some of the items that didn't turn out a well as I expected. I have learned a great deal through the years. The greatest learning experience is patience. Happy 4th Chris. Be good. Remain safe
Hi Chris, returning to your distributor and HT lead issue. I think that in the clip you were talking about counter-clockwise rotation while looking down into the cap. However, with that inversion, the relative rotation would of course be clockwise. I have a narrow belt conversion on my 4A; Using dividers I have measured from the machined face of the block to the inner face of the aluminium pulley at 70mm and approximately 80mm to the centreline of the belt. Sorry about the units, but I hope it helps give some peace of mind regarding the location of your pulley
Thanks, Robin. I'll take a look at my wires again. Would surprise me if I got it wrong again. As for the pulley, that 10mm delta is just about what I'm seeing so yes, that makes me feel a bit better. Thanks!
Hey, Barry. I did NOT line up with the crank pulley. Huge concern. But, I'm going to delay stressing about it until a "future me" time. We'll see what happens. But, if I have to roll this all back and go with the stock arrangement, I will. Won't be happy about it, but I will. Cheers!
The pump is held on with two studs and one long circa 3” bolt. This bolt can be a hassle and a long stud alleviates this problem. Given the problem you experienced your pulley may no longer be readily removable, so the stud might help

Thanks, Matthew. We'll see how it works out, but definitely rough going right now.

Well it's on and it looks good, I presume you lined it up with the crank pully. Happy July 4th in a few days.

Hi Chris, Suggest you use a long stud instead of the bolt (a long rocker stud could work)
I'm not sure where you mean? Thanks!

Ah, I understand. Good idea. I'll look into that. Thanks!
