Also if you use the adaptor and use a stock 216 or early 235 water pump,if you break down you can get a water pump from any FLAPS in the area they may have get it the next day but the short shaft pump would have be ordered from a on line store.
I installed the adaptor and it's easy and have never had any problems.
