Default Pulley Issues

Its been years since I've been on here and I'm glad to see this site is still active.

I have a 1971 LeMans Sport vert that has a 1968 400 modified engine. When we first put it together I used the 8 bolt water pump. It was dyoned at 440hp. I have now converted the water pump off the 71 350 so I could use the 11 bolt pattern. It is more popular then the 1 year only 8 bolt pattern.

I now have an issue with the everything lining up. Is there something I'm missing? I am using the crank pulley from the 68 400 but the brackets for the 71. Is that the issue or is there a better system out there that I can use to get everything lined up?

The car has been in hibernation for over a decade and being older I can't remember what bracket goes where. It sucks getting old LOL.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I really want this car on the road this summer and it is very close. This is the biggest hangup we have right now.

thanks for your input.
Matt
