    Do you have power steering?

    Why do you need to replace your front accessory kit?

    The engine in my car is from a '91 thunderbird. When the previous owner installed it he didnt have quite enough money to replace it. So he cheaply fabricated some brackets to make it work. Like a solid mount idler pulley where the power steering was. The alternater bracket is super hokey. Everything.flexes and makes the belt squeal.

    The mechanical pulley pump will out last the electric, but the electric will pump more water at idle.

    Be sure the pump(s) will fit...

    AFAIK the '91-'93 T-Birds, '94-'95 Stang and Sploders use a different timing that requires a specific pump...

    I've got a Moroso electric pump I've been using but my stuff is torn apart for now. When it goes back I will use a belt driven pump.
