water pump problem

Ive got a 1979 l48 corvette. I ended up with a aluminum high polished water pump off of another 350 engine and i installed it onto my car. Now my pulleys don't line up. The new one has the pulley farther away from the pump than my original one. What pulley do i need for my water pump to work on my car?

It may be the wrong water pump...If your aware of it Corvettes use the short pump...line the new one up against the old and this may be the answer...
