71-82 short 5 13/16" vet 3/4" shaft
55-72 short 5 5/8" 5/8" shaft
69-87 long 6 15/16" 5/8" shaft
all serps and other crap your on your own.
if the alt (assume a GM style) is infront of the head its long, if its placed beside the head or vavle cover its a short.
Sounds like a PNP yard run.

If the post is a success there is a pic below. A long pump leaves a bit of space between the timing cover and the pump. A short pump sits right up next to the timing cover. Also, if the bottom pulley grooves on the crankshaft (on SBC) are flush with the harmonic dampner it's a short pump ... if the pulley grooves are a couple inches out its a long pump.
