Whats the proper casting #??
I can't seem to find the proper casting # for a water pump for a '68 327/350hp. Dont know if it makes a difference, but it is a late '68.
I've checked all the regular casting number sites recommended here, but none of them seem to have water pump castings.
Thanks,
~Rich

I've seen that number before (top one for 327) and it has always said "not for the L79", which is what I have.
I have found 3859326, which is for a 66-67 327/L79 but nothing for a '68.
Where did you get the info??

Are all of the correct casting numbers in the AIM? One is on the way in the mail. I have never seen what is actually in the AIM, so I'm anxiosly awaiting its arrival.

Anyway, I thought I had the wrong pump on the motor, but I guess it is correct. The only problem is it is beginning to leak from the pump shaft. I can't seem to find a rebuild kit for these. Any suggestions where to locate one? Or is it best to just get a new AC Delco and replace it?
