The short version. Bought a 67 Firebird 400 online "sight unseen". Was told "it ran great". It arrived at my house and it had a thrown rod and a split oil pump. When I went to confront the seller...he died the day before. And yes, he really did die. I checked. RIP Alex. Ok...on to the question...

Needless to say, I have never driven this car. Seems that I have an engine that has been Frankensteined together (or so I am discovering). Engine components from all different years of Pontiac. The water pump pulley is too far forward, and doesnt line up with the power steering pump or alternator. Its about .25 or > off. I am thinking that the pulley is the wrong year. But I have no idea what the RIGHT year is. All I can say is...the pully needs to flange in towards the block more. Or to say it differently, the pulley needs to have a "deeper dish". Do you have any ideas? I would really like to avoid shims.

And this is the only thing left to fix before I can drive it for the first time. So your help is appreciated.
