So I've been picking away at the '68 Valiant 100. This is a car that originally had a 170 in it and at some point long ago had a new or rebuilt 225 swapped in. SL6dan said it was a 1972 block based on the H225R stamping.

I noticed this evening that the water pump is a Chrysler unit with red paint still on it. The part # appears to be 4006555, 4006635 or something close to that. No date code that I can make out.

I had to replace the fuel pump and it also was on the engine when painted. It was a very old AC pump model 263S with possibly a date code beside it that read 2 small9small 72.

The distributor is also the original 2875202 date coded the 45th week of 1967. Too bad the original starter is gone though.

You can probably find NOS ones still.

FlowKooler makes a real nice one, #1678.
