Title: Edelbrock Aluminum Water Pump
Post by: Posi67 on January 10, 2024, 10:31:20 PM: Looking for a good used before I hit the Summit page. Need it to be clean, not painted or polished. I already have two but they are both painted (by me) and this will be for another project. Thanks

I might just try one of those. Certainly a lot more price friendly than the Edelbrock. Thanks!!

Post by: Posi67 on January 12, 2024, 08:13:17 PM: So I bought one of those CVF racing pumps mostly based on the price and above comments. Ordered yesterday and shipped today so can't complain about service at least. Going on a Drag engine so not like I'm expecting 100,000 miles out of the thing. Thanks for the input.

I have this water pump on my mustang and filled it with coolant a couple of days ago and it's leaking from the back cover plate. I would suggest pulling the back cover off and sealing it up before installing and adding fluid.
