`66 restoration, 1F water pump alignment off (1 Viewer)

[Spring Grover]

Hey all. Restoring a `66 FJ40, keeping this rig as was, minus necessary upgrades. Just noticed the water pump alignment is off after putting on new belt. The alt. and crank are aligned, albeit the alt. bracket is either backwards or something, as there's a nut spacer going to the water pump. It seems to me the wrong water pump is installed? The pump is approx. 1/2" out from crank and alt. Doesn't look like any spacers on the pump pulley. Two things wrong here:
1). Why is the pump extended out?
2). Is this the correct alt. bracket, and if so, is it reversed? I looked around the site for pics, but still doesn't solve the pump problem, so I'm putting both problems out there.
Lmk what you think

The water pump pulley is too shallow. Water pump seems correct compared to the one on my '64.

The thing that you bolt the pulley to on the water pump walked forward it seems, approx. 1/2", for anyone interested in what happened. Dead blow hammer set it back into alignment, now hopefully it doesn't leak.

just a heads up, unless a true restoration, you should look into changing the metal 4 blade fan.
several threads of broken blades going into the rad or hood.
the fan will break

here's a thread of mine from a few years ago:

near disaster

a customer calls me from the interstate, asks if he can have his rig towed to my place. He was doing about 55mph, heard a loud bang and vibration. Opened the hood, fearing the worst, and found this. He is extremely lucky as it didn't take out the radiator as others have experienced. Mark A has...

Haven't heard of that one yet. At least worthy of inspection

Your alternator bracket is backwards it looks like . The little jog at the end is the part that is supposed to be bolted to the water pump.
