GLCraig Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 If I remember right. For no/ac you want the pump that dose not have studs. Then again my memory hasn't been the best lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 take the pulley off of your car's water pump and take some meaurements of the shaft length/clearances.. a picture you could take to the parts store would be primo. then compare the two different water pumps at the parts store to your info. they are visually different so the difference will be obvious. don't forget a new O-ring for the pipe that goes to the radiator.. i replace the elbow hose to the heater core pipe as well during a water pump job. AAAAND if you want to install the timing marks from an XT, they use the water pump's bolts for mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 does the pulley fit over studs on the water pump? or does it bolt to the pulley? if it slides over studs, its the long one. if the pulley bolts to the water pump, studs in pulley, its the short one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Ask Jim Wood (86subaru), He will tellya :wave: yup! mmm hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 It should be the short water pump. I remember putting a short water pump on my 86 turbowagon (I later replaced it) and it had factory AC and to make the belts line up I had to put a couple washers between the pump and pully. Therefore from my mistake we can figure out this... factory AC cars have studs and a long pump. NON AC cars have holes and a short pump.

MilesFox Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 yeah jims wagon had add-on dealer AC, it had the bolt on pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richierich Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I am betting it is the long pump. 85-86 Turbos used the short pump, after that most used the long pump. Most if not all XT use the short pump. All in all, not very many use the short pump. But if you ever are in doubt, I would say buy both and take one back.

MilesFox Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 no matter what motor its on, the pulley with the BOLT-ON pulley is the short one 100mm the ones that have the pulley go over the studs on the water pump itself, it is the long one 110mm:wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
