Just purchased an Avanti water pump. It is in the mail. Would like to
know if it will fit the pully arrangement on my 63 Hawk 289 2 bbl with
factory air? My car has the factory 5 blade fan with fan clutch. Any
body done this? jimmijim
No, the hub is too big to fit your pulleys.

I hate when that happens. John, do you know what size the hub hole must
be to accomodate the Avanti pump. I could prepare some different
pulleys that I think I have lying around before it gets here. I really
wanted to use the heavy duty pump. Thanks for the quck response.

You should have just ordered the HD Lark/hawk pump. I'm not sure if your
belts will line up with a modified pulley using the Avanti pump. I think
the hub is way longer to go through the thick cast iron Avanti pulley
and into the fan clutch.

Jim,
It looks like you'll just have to get an R motor for that Hawk!
BTW, don't forget the Allegheny Region Corn Roast on Sunday.

Most all of them, it's for AC cars.
