Water pump rebuilding

[Rixls6]

Local NAPA here does them and even takes pics to assure you get the same unit back.
$69 each and 3 week turnaround.

Easy to rebuild but tough to find long pump parts.

There was a guy at Carlisle who was selling the parts even had the old parts book to look them up

[SS427]

Damn. Didn't catch his name did you? I could use about 10 rebuild kits.

[jl8z28]

I'll look in the bag of parts I may have gotten a card

How much does Gould want to do a w/p?

[X66 714]

Kurt. Gould quoted 95.00 plus shipping. 1 Year warranty. Mock wants 225.00 with a lifetime warranty to build your original. Mock wants 325.00 for an outright purchase. Lots of casting dates on hand. This pricing was quoted for a 3969811 (396) pump. Both say they use only US made replacement parts..Joe

I sent mine to the guy in Texas. They quoted me 65.00. I will post when I get it back.

Nice to find dated cores at swap meets for $30.oo,,,Just a sample of DIY.

You make me VERY nervous pressing bearings in that way. Those ears are very thin wall and will snap easily. Better to support on the rear cover surface.
