water pump question

[MRKING]

I was wondering what the lower hole on the pass side of the water pump feeds ? The one below the bottom bolt ...

My edelbrock water pump states that it also fits 1987-95 V8's , so i purchased an electric water pump to fit that . It doesnt have the water hole i asked about above . I was thinking of just plugging it but I wanted to ask for some professional help before the jb weld starts flying .


Anyone know ??

Re: water pump question

Did you test fit the new pump to see if the flange covered that hole?
As long as the pump flange covers the hole I wouldn't bother with it.

It doesnt cover the hole enough to forget about it so I was going to tap and plug the hole or just cram some jb weld sealant in it . The pass side flange on my elec pump is the same as the drivers side , just the water passage and 2 bolt holes . The heater core is still in , but I was wondering about the tstat .. Do I even need to run one on this track star ?

Thanks for the help .
