Remember there is short water pump (SWP) and long water pump (LWP) versions of most brackets. Within those families, you must find out if the brackets you bought are meant to line up with which slot on your crank pulley.

I have a Corvette March crank pulley and W/P pulley and on a Corvette waterpump . I bought a adjustable P/s bracket , Chrome P/S pump and billet P/S pulley. If I get the pulley lined up there is a 1/2 inch gap on the back side adjustment stud.
Just wondering if there might be a easier way....

I bought the set from march. Water pump, crank and alternator pulley, they line up perfect. The power steering pump is a stock pump with stock brackets. That lines up fine also.
