Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005who has the GOOD water pumps?
I just got back from a weekend long meet and I went on the highway for the longest ever for this car. 150 miles. parked the car and unloaded the trunk and what not and then i noticed a puddle of green. the car ran great and no problems or noises. the water pump has just a hint of chatter.could even be the belt but,,, I don't think so. I read the old water pump posts and think that it is time to do mine. so while i have it off, what else should I do while it is dismantled?? what gaskets to replace, timming gears???? and who has the "good" water pumps? I have read that they are not all the same and the tolerances make alot of differance. I really only want to do this once. any help is good help. thanks. rich(leaky and love it)la torre Buy the Heavy duty pump from SASCO or other vendors, all the new ones are made by the same company.

(Assuming a V8, non-Avanti) > John There are two companies making V8 waterpumps. The ones sold by Prim and carried by some of the vendors are just like the originals and work fine. Some of the pumps made by Moto have a different shape impeller and do not pump enough water around because the gap between the impeller and the housing is too large.I sell the correct heavy duty pumps at $80.00 non Avanti , late 1951-64 V8. Free shipping for the newsgroup folks.

Nothing else needs to be disassembled to replace the WP. If your current one isn't making a death rattle yet you may want to do a good flush before replacing the WP so you're not running caustic chemicals by your nice new WP. Also a good time to look at your hoses. nate BTW, the SASCO pump comes with the gasket and washers, so I assume the other do. >>I just got back from a weekend long meet and I went on the highway for >>the longest ever for this car. 150 miles. parked the car and unloaded [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > nate SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 R2 4 speed Challenger (Plain Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 62 Lark 2 door 61 Hawk 60?
