It's at least 3/4". But... it's the correct curvature too to match the original plate. The ones we're all having problems with were 'shaved' so the height is nowhere the same as these "new" ones.

Still haven't heard on a part number yet from Cardone. As soon as we do it will be posted here, and I'm sure PY and Ames will both carry them. You should also be able to get them thru the parts stoes like NAPA that do carry Cardone waterpumps. For the guys around where I live, Christianna Auto Parts in New Castle carries Cardone. I'm sure they'd be happy to send out these pumps to anyone that needs them.... once they're out on the shelves or you're able to order them.

As for the repo SS plates, Ames Ent. is still checking things out. I called yesterday to check. But do to family issues the 'Boss' has been away taking care of that.... I was assured will get it resolved one way or the other as soon as possible.

Had the car out this morning for a 10 mile run and all is well.... Temp went to 190 when stopped at traffic lights but came down to 180 as soon as I started moving again. IMO I think the problem has been solved from Cardone's end.
