I have a question on installing the divider plates on my 67 400 with 8 bolt water pump. My original plates were corroded, so I bought new stainless ones prom PY. When I tried to install them, the outer one kept letting gravity take over, and fell out. I put the inner one in, then a gasket, put in the outer one, another gasket, then the water pump. When I tightened it down, the impeller rubbed on the plate. I was able to loosen the bolts, and with a thin bladed screwdriver, push up on the plate enough so now it doesn't rub.
Is this correct, or did I do something wrong. This is all on a fresh rebuilt motor that hasn't been started yet. Gary |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
