You may want to impress upon him the importance of reliability in this case.

You are such a fool.

You will need to grind the water pump housing to fit the WP tabs, and then pending brand,cut away at the plastic fan shroud.

Enjoy.

Pump already in housing. Can I possibly use AIR relay?

Then how would the AIR system work?

AIR system is long gone, but relay is still there

No sir.

But please lets keep this serious.

How does this sound?

Run a wire from the small positive terminal on the passenger side fender to terminal 87 of the relay.
Run a wire from the ignition fuse in the underhood fuse box to terminal 86 of the relay. You can tap into the wire below the fuse box.
Run a wire from terminal 85 of the relay to a good solid ground.
Run a wire from terminal 30 on the relay through a 1-amp inline fuse holder, then to the blue wire of the water pump.
Run the black wire off the water pump to another good solid ground.

What did you do to wire yours? Painless kit?

i used the painless kit.... i really made it so a monkey could do it... $30 bucks was worth it to me not to have to search out every little thing needed to wire it plus figure out the best way to wire it.

30A Bosch relays are $10 or so. Just get one and wire it in. It is not difficult.
