Does it matter that my new water pump has two threaded holes as opposed to my old water pump having only one threaded hole ? Can I plug the second hole on the new pump and use it ? The bolt pattern and shaft length seems to be the same.

I've bought a couple that came with 2 holes. One came with a plug installed but one came with a thread size reducer in the box and both holes open. I don't know what the reducer was for, but I kept it and plugged the second hole.

You can plug off one hole or if your looking to keep it original, find a rebuilder to rebuild the old one holer as I did. Totally depends on the condition of the old one and what you would like to do.
