Water pump bolt locations
I’m sorry for the bad picture if I need to I can get better pictures
I was finishing up the motor last night and I was putting the water pump on and he put the bolts on the pump that I had but I’m missing like six bolts so my question is does someone have a picture or something to show exactly where the alternator bracket bolts to and power steering

Block it off with a 3/8 NPT pipe plug. Preferably brass, and use PTFE past on the threads.
And remember that NPT plugs are tapered, and you're threading it into aluminum. Put sealant on it and thread it in til it's snug. Do Not tighten it as much as you would a regular bolt, or the taper will crack the water pump body.
