when replacing the water pump on an 88 town car forgot which bolts went where? please help

well proper bolt engagement will be 2x the diameter of the bolt...so if you've got that amount of engagement, you will be okay~ you could measure the clearance with a chop stick or such and determine which will fit~

I just found this picture for water pump, hope it helps.

figure out what bolts to 5A~

The picture was for 3.8L I believe. I don't know litre size of engine? Hi Bob, didn't mean to butt in?

you know I'm only here to kill time...they don't pay much around here (in fact they let your starve)...was a Mechanic 1994-1996 on Sundays...had to be 'expert on all makes and models' that's how I end up here...have met face-to-face with some challenging repairs~..oily, seems like you two feel the need to HELP people with your advise~...yep glad to have met ya~ in case you've seen this mug before, was guru number ONE for a time, but Lisa decided that I was a much better artist then advisor of automotive problems~ look for judge_roy to see my ex-bio~

That's a nice picture. Yeah, I'm just an old retired person, I try to answer questions on automotive forums just to kill the time of day. I used to consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none. I'm not sure what I am now, except, too old. Have a good day.
