Luray Would just get a new pump,if you kit your old one using the service book watch out for reversed pictures in the book. Bought a new knock-off pump not sure if it's really a very good pump. Think I would go to Carters.

If you go the rebuild route I've used Flying Dutchman for all my water pumps for the past 20 years and never had a failure, he machines the old housing to take modern seals.

I bought one from Classic Parts two years ago and no leaks so far (knocking on wood as I type). Here is a [LINK]. This one is for 5/8” fan belts. They also sell one for 3/8”.
