Someone else said it, too, but I'll reiterate. Try to find a rebuilder of water
pumps and just have your old one redone. This is especially true if you have one
of the old cast-iron water pumps as they have more originality.
In the Kansas City area, I use
MO-KAN Automotive Electric
565 S. 4th, KC KS, (913) 281-5492
They've done the water pump on the 'C' a couple of times. They have probably
done a few mail-order jobs in their time, too. They also will rebuild your
alternator but a better outfit for that is
Hunt Electric
514 Southwest Blvd, KC MO, (816) 842-5661
