These days... you would be lucky to find a cast iron housing water pump. A die cast alm. GMB pump, with the 8 fin impeller, is a common one we see today and those work well.. DD |

Doug, is there any way to be sure and get the 8 fin impeller? I ordered the same part number at Advance 2 times and got one 8 fin and one 6 fin one. Rick |

I have a spare used one that does not leak.....A die cast alm. GMB pump, with the 8 fin impeller, is a common one we see today and those work well.. DD it's a 6 blade genuine Chrysler mid 1970's. |

I also keep all my cast iron SL6 WP "cores"... and also re-use any good ones. Someday... I may find a way to rebuild the others. As for getting an 8 fin Al. WP, I just order and then look at the pump when it arrives. I tell the counter person to get me another, if I do not get an 8 fin. DD |
