So I bought one of these for my '91 245, which has an absolutely standard engine compartment: nothing has been moved/relocated/etc, which the exception of the A/C compressor which was removed. If I follow the enclosed instructions, I cannot for the life of me get the supplied belt to fit the pump without hitting the mass air sensor. I could get a longer belt, but that would exceed the range of adjustability in the tensioning bracket. I mucked around with it for a couple of hours before I bailed on the way that they wanted it mounted and moved it up one set of holes in the block and used a longer belt I had in inventory. Unfortunately that makes the hole in the upper left location unusable because it doesn't line up with the boss in the block.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I contacted ipd about this and they said they have hundreds of units in service without a problem. I checked that the pn on the bag of components I got was correct, but that doesn't mean that the contents of the bag were.
I'm thinking that this is a me problem but like I said, man, I could not figure it out.
Help?
