Fred,

I ask again....
My Merc pump has the back of the housing with 90* fittings that point downward to clear my Stef's Oil pan. Do you have a solution for that?

Thanks
Dick

Re: Kpm Racing Raw Water Impeller
 

Trying to install mine right now and having same issues. Did you guys use the stainless wear plate between new pump and pulley housing? If you were to do it again would you drill out like ..Lightning did or try to cut and drill like P4 did?

Re: Kpm Racing Raw Water Impeller
 

I remember having some of the same minor issues when I installed mine. I ended up rotating mine to an angle that fits, which required drilling new mounting holes. Not precision machining, but some trial and error. It clears my mechanical fuel pump and my gil oil pan and still has enough adjustment to remove and tighten the belt. So far mine has worked great!

Dick, I have both a straight fitting (output) and a 90deg fitting (input) on mine. Fred sells these, and they are some very pretty stainless hardware pieces. I'm pretty sure the pump housings have 1 1/4" NPT (maybe 1 1/2"?) threads, so your local plumbing should be able to set you up with brass, too.
