Hi Everyone,
I just put an order in with Mike Forte (who is a huge help and wealth of knowledge!) for parts to turn my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer motor into a carb'd application. Since I have a new timing cover and water pump on the way, I figured I should get some new hardware to go along with it. I am having quite the time figuring out what it is I need. I see some of the water pump bolt kits include bolts and studs. Since I am not running any power steering or A/C, do I need the studs? Here are the details of my timing cover and water pump:
- Timing cover will fit mechanical fuel pump and have dipstick hole in front.
- Water pump is standard rotation.
Can anyone point me in the direction of which bolt kit I will need for water pump and timing cover?
Thanks!
Scott
