I guess I have been real lucky for the last 53 years.The ONLY over heating issues I have really ever had was related to timing.Retarded timing was the issue.I have never checked clearance on any of my water pumps.I have used 4 bolts(still have one running,8 bolts and 11 bolts.Had a little issue with my 62 GP once in high heat weather and extended traffic idle untill I put a shroud on it.Tom

Looks like you got the good impeller, just set/check the clearance.

Yup, saw those two parts on the site. Seems to be the same water pump as the one I posted from Summit, no? SO, QUESTION IS: WORTH IT? DOES IT STILL REQUIRE MODIFICATION TO THE DIVIDER PLATE?

I do like the idea of a new divider plate - couldn't hurt to have a spare in case I mess one up.

Speaking of spares, guess what I found in the box of parts that came with my car last year:




Looks like a cast impeller to me, no?

PO said he picked it up at a swap meet once as a spare when he suspected a bad pump but it turned out to be bad bearings in another accessory (alternator I think?)

Should this pump spin freely when I spin it? It doesn't. It's sort of stiff. Not in any way binding, just a bit stiff.

Pull it and see what you got now (clearance/impeller type). Go from there.
