Re: Water pump recommendations?
I have the Edelbrock. Looks nice and I have had no problems with it <knock on wood>.
I was reading your overheat thread. If you decide to replace the radiator, replace it with an OEM spec/type. I remember reading old posts where the "high performance" radiators did not work well with our trucks....
Anyone feel free to say otherwise, but I do remember seeing that somewhere buried in the search abyss.

Re: Water pump recommendations?
I bought mine from RPM

I threw away the box, but should have something with the actual part # on it somewhere. I will look later on and see what I can find.

Re: Water pump recommendations?
This is funny. I get on the edelbrock web site and do a search to see who is an authorized seller of there products. I see autozone on the list, it was a surprise to me becasue back in the days performance places were the only locations to get aftermarket or performance items. Anyway call two autozones and one guy didnt even know how to spell edelbrock. I got upset and called edelbrock and told them the issue. The lady was very nice she called autozone to find out what the story was and why they couldnt help me. She gets it squared away and tells me to call back and ask for john he will help me. She then says i will transfer you to tech support so they can give you the correct part number just to be on the safe side. Thats a great idea. I speak to a tech support guy and i told him what make and model and what i was looking for. He then asks me if it is a short or long style of course im not home so im not sure. He tells me dont worry i will ask my co worker he has the same truck. I start laughing and he puts me on hold. Comes back and says its part number 8881. I asked if his coworker is on the syty site he says no hes an older guy and doesnt like computers. HAHAHAH

Re: Water pump recommendations?
Check with a good rad shop. I was able to get an OEM style rad for less than the cost of a cleanout. What you want to watch for is the cheaper look alike. It will not have the correct oil cooler fittings. At least that was what happened to me.
