Just asking.........where is the best place/vendor to buy a 58 Olds 371 motor water pump? Thanks Tom

 

Fusick - if you are lucky and they have one to sell. The repros, while good are on long undefined backorder. Cardone isn't rebuilding any right now under number 50-288. Some online sources show Cardone stock but don't actually have any to sell. One of the boutique rebuilders might rebuild one for you if they have or can get the bearing assy and seal. Cost substantially higher then one off the shelf if you can fine one, new or NOS.

Remember to keep belt tension at factory specs or light or the factory pump seal will fail in a relatively short time. This is relevant since guys want to run alternators with a tiny pulley, with the belt as tight as a geetar string to prevent slippage. GL

 

I had one on my Edsel rebuilt by this company. They did a great job.
