Also...the water pump you have on there, does it have a reducer 1/2 x 3/4 on the bypass connection to the pump
Do you have a pic of the BENDS attached to the pump?

I have a pump similar to that and cannot get my line anywhere close to that..

Jack that is the correct 67 fuel pump. 66 is different yes that's a factory correct repro line. And that's the correct water pump with the correct by pass fitting. I think dad bought that from Bill Mock about 20 years ago

A-snake is that the correct PS set up for a L79. doesn't the PS get a 3rd step out pulley on the crank. so it goes captive belt, then alt belt then the PS belt.

Check Pg F385 of the '66 AIM, UPC A6. The 350 hp uses two groves with (N40) PS. The 300hp uses a captive third belt.

(Corrected the pg # for the N40 option)
