Mancini water pump housing????

[Charger4404spd]

Well went to mock up the new water pump housing along with the new alt. brackets and so forth. I temp. installed the water pump so I could see if the pulley was going to line up with the new alt. pulley I had installed. Yeah it lines up, but one small problem..... the water pump pulley drags the top of the crank pulley. So I loosened the 2 bolts I had used on the housing to see if it would raise just a bit and no go.

So whats the deal with the Mancini housings? Evidently they are just a bit off. Anyone ran into this problem?

i just had the same problem 2 weeks ago on my trucks 360 i had the crank pulley tight but and put on the water pump and the pulleys touched here i had to take out  the water pump bolts lift it over the larger front 2 crank grooves then it lined right up one of those days

 I was using  a mixture  small block, BB ,AC and non AC pulleys and I did have one combination that did hit.
