I have had this water pump at two shops one locally and one I mailed out of state after asking them twice if they rebuild this type of water pump. I get a phone call today they can't do it. Does anybody know of a shop that will do this or at least a kit to rebuild this type of water pump. Iknow some one out there does this or at least a kit to rebuild it.
Thanks
Jack

I was told by a older fellow that they only made them for 6 months and I'm trying to find some one to rebuid it or at least a kit for it. I'd like to keep it original.
Anybody else have any ideas......Thanks Jack | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | If they only made them for six months, why not get the updated version. Your block would have been made for a lot longer than six months. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Chevy stopped using that design in or around 38 I believe because it wasn't dependable. My 38 had a "modern" pump already on it when I bought the car. I bought a rebuilt pump through my FLAPS.
