im looking at getting a march pulley kit and have to use a reverse rotation water pump. other than the water neck on the driver side the bolt pattern is all the same for the timing covers or not?

 

All that I've ever seen are.

 

thanks i wanted to be shur i dont have to get a timing cover

 

It's been a while since I had the timing cover off of my truck, but I thought that the coolant ports were blended slightly in the direction of the water flow.

 

i think the biggest change was the timing pointer (some like mine are part of the cover and some others bolted on) but i dont know alot of small stuff on the later 302 (after around 1985)

 

I checked yesterday on the 351 I have in the garage, and the water passages are specific to pump rotation direction. I don't think you could get a standard rotation pump to seal on the reverse rotation timing cover and vice versa.

 

ok thanks ive found a pulley kit for a standard rotation. its cheaper to go that way and not have to buy the pump, radiator for a lower driver side outlet, hose, ect thanks for everyones advice
