As I rack my brain trying to remember tearing the motor down, I seem to remember a washer on the bolt behind the nipple? I also have it in the bag with the bolts, was that correct? Thank you.

My 440 water pump had only one washer and that was on the bolt behind the nipple. This bolt was also approx. 1/4" longer than the other bolts. I can't say for sure it was originally like this from the factory.

Here we go!!!
The Moparr Motors Chrysler Vehicle Restoration Reference Manual (Guide to B Body fasteners 1968-1970)has a note which says "The bolts in position #3 were consistently found with a washer"
Position #3 is the one behind the nipple.
