70 and up will move his lower radiator hose to the passenger side and not match his radiator and cover over his timing tab. Bad idea. sorry

you can use timing tape and modify the stock pointer so it's all on the other side. works great if that's the only problem

those are the issues we're having. Hose the wrong side. so we have a 70's pump which isnt working

you can also have a radiator shop move the inlet to the other side. have also seen people use two hoses and a coupler to get it to wrap around to the other side. neither is the best fix, sometime you do what ya gotta do. the best fix is use the timing cover, water pump and radiator from the same group.
