Harty. Hello.

If you are using the 59A type belt placement and a crab or helmet distributor, you need replacement 59A type pumps. You need replacement type because the original type need an oil feed from the block, and that feed is not there on the French block. The replacement type have sealed ball bearings.

You will need the appropriate crank pulley and a generator that matches too.

I don't think you can use the forward location of the belts in a 33/34 due to clearance issues, so the above is probably your only option.

Edit: The pumps you list from Mac Van pelt are not the type you will need. The belt is too far forward and the shape at the bottom is wrong.

These are the Van Pelt equivalent of the ones above

These will suit the 33/34 better, but lots of other little things will need doing to make them work. Holes will need to be plugged, for instance.
