The 5 5/8 is correct for 70' a/c.
The flowcooler pump is just a GMB pump with there fancy purple impeller.
I have installed both a GMB and a flowcooler and saw no difference.
My opinion, not worth the extra money. Just by the correct GMB brand pump and save your money for other things.

I agree that it's not really worth the money. Several years ago I debated installing a FlowKooler pump in my car since I drive in 110+ summer temps with the AC on, but I opted for a parts store rebuild with a stamped steel impeller instead. And whaddaya know, the engine runs right at the thermostat temperature with that inferior impeller.
