After changing out my water pump as part of a comprehensive cooling system upgrade in prepration for Branson, I went about tightening my belts. They measured all between 70-100# with my clicker belt tension tester. All seemed fine until I watched the engine running. The steering pulley is cocked in just a bit in relation to the water pump.

Here are pics:

When adjusting the tension for the steering pump, I used a pry bar between the pump housing and the tab for the adjustment linkage, as indicated by the FSM. Or at least, how I interpreted what the FSM was telling me...

Couldn't say if it was like this before I did the swap, should have paid better attention.

No funny noises, and everything runs fine. Just not certain how to adjust this back to square as the only bolts that hold the pump in relation to the adjustment bracket are on its outer side. All the bolts were torqued to the 25 lb-ft spec.

Thoughts?

As always, I appreciate the help and looking forward to the road trip!
