MrJLR said

Thanks. ..good tips!
It's a new stock water pump. ..painted it with Eastwood brake grey...

I'll get that starter in before anything else and my Bouchillon cable too...then mess with shimming the engine. ....

How much shim is average. ..and where?

If you have the original style radiator for the car, it's easier to use the cast iron water pump. Your power steering is made to mount off the boss on the cast iron water pump, and the lower radiator outlet is on the proper side for the original style radiator.

If you keep the aluminum water pump, what brackets are you going to use to mount it? The aluminum water pump power steering brackets come off the water pump left lower bolts, totally different mounting...

Using the cast iron water pump will solve those issues...
