Brad, I'm dealing directly with Steve and Tim at Ames Engineering... not Ames Performance Engineering where we get our parts from out of the catalog. They are 2 separate businesses. Steve did sell the APE business, to which he now supplies parts to, and PY plus others.

Yes it would have been when the dies were originally made. But because they were probably made back when rebuild buisnesses like Cardone started with the rebuilding pumps without any knowlege of how Pontiac did what they did and Ames following the way Cardone and others were making the incorrect impellers, it only now we're finding out that the SS rear divider plate is made wrong. At least I think it's wrong and may be the only one thinking that way... well, at least Charles is agreeing with me. I look at it this way... it's not over until they tell me it's over and nothing will be done. At least Steve and Tim are listening for to me for now. I just need others to take a look at theirs and hopefully back me up on what I've found. I sure don't want to have to beat on that plate to get the correct curve in it so the impeller doesn't hit it. And that's what and why it is now. I think it's the last stepping stone to getting this whole issue resolved.
