1965 260 pulleys not lining up

I'm probably missing something obvious. Putting together a 1965 260 the harmonic balancer lines up with the generator and the ac lines up with crank but water pump pulley does not. Bought this car it was apart built a different 260 used the timing cover from the second 260 I bought. I have measured both timing covers they measure the same height. Also measured 2 different water pump heights both measure the same. Don't know if this might help if I put 3 5\16 washers it lines up pretty good but I know I shouldn't have to do this. Any body run into this. Thanks
 
Thanks for the reply. I thought about that since I know this motor was together I'm wondering if they were running it that way.
 
I had some time today researched a little pretty sure it has the wrong water pump pulley on. Just can't believe it was being run that away.
 
I have seen rebuilt water pumps with the flange pressed on to the wrong dimension. Like it says above, use a puller, or a press to get it right.
 
Thanks for the response someone had put the wrong pulley on found a aftermarket pulley lined up the pulleys perfectly.
