water pump...

[aint_no_chicken]

hey guys, its been awhile. anyways, finally pulled the cover of the 68 and started tinkering with it again. heard a funny noise while turning to get it to start, and comes tp find out its water pump... is ready to toss the fan through the rad. I cant find one through a local parts house, summit racing wont ship one till june second.... yeah not thrilled. evidently this particlar pump was only made for one year according to one place, 2 from another and 4 years from another, and all parts numbers have be discontinued. does anybody know where i can get one, or a rebuild kit, or a place that rebuilds water pumps? and help would be greatly apericated.

You could try one of the venders like Pat Wilson or maybe this link and search water pump rebuilders.

I had no problem getting mine for my 69 bird. I think I got it at autozone, but it's been at least 10 years.
