That link is a good write up but some of the info could be changed. When I did my IH pump it was pretty easy except for my broken bolt in the timing cover. If you purchase a "real" international pump then the pulley bolts on and nothing needs to be done to it. No shaving the back side of it. Only a small area needs to be ground down for the belt to fit and running the extra IH pulley is a waste of money. I found a new pump on eBay for 100 bucks. This is a very clean way to run a coolant filter and gets rid of a ton of hoses.

The pump must not have the casting numbers on it or the pulley won't fit without being clearanced off the back. The IH oem pump doesn't have these numbers in the wrong place.

Here is the area that needs ground down for the belt to clear.

A simple test is to pop the hood when the engine is up to temp, and if the line coming out of the coolant filter is cold, the filter is plugged and should be changed. Since most filters are installed as a bypass filtration, having a plugged filter will not cause any problems or damage anything.

I get to do all this fun stuff today with my tool box in tenn and me in Michigan.

Thankfully I brought along the spare tool set, and my dad has quite a bit of tools here too.

Alright guys, so i replaced the pump. Took it for a spin, no leaks. So i took it for a drive and the temp gauge went through the roof, the coolant in the overflow bottle was bubbling and the upper rad hose wasn't pressurized but super hot to the touch... Sounds like I have air trapped somewhere. What should I be doing?

What pump and thermostat did you use? If you were to use a late model pump that designed for a long thermostat and put a short thermostat in it it wont close of the bypass and cause the engine to overheat.
