good luck with it.

I'll do that with the rears. I won't do it on the front, except on the Dodge van.

6 degrees on the pump would be 12 degrees on the crankshaft. I don't think the pump will give you this much adjustment.

I noted, above, that I fixed my particular problem by loosening that lower mounting bolt. The pump easily moved closer to the engine. In fact, I could probably move it another degree or two.
