Yes 3rd gen water pump is reverse rotation as I recall. I suggested
turning
     the early 2nd gen V belt e-shaft pulley 180 degrees to get the belt
away from the front
     cover if you are using the remote water pump. You will also have to
space the
     side maounted alternator back. Forward in the case of a pusher.

What is the interface between the pully and the e-shaft? Spline & taper?

     Four equally spaced bolts on the 2nd gen.

OK, we have one big bolt in the center

That is the hub for the pulley on the 2nd gen. That part is held on with
a simple 30 mm bore and key way. Just happened to have one sitting
on my desk as a paper weight. The pilot bore for the pulley is 50 mm.

Checking the third gen shop manual the part looks exactly the same.

The main serpentine pulley on my Cosmo fits only in one position. The holes
look symmetric, but they are not. It has something to do with the timing
marks I believe?
