water pump question
1969 corvette L46
I want to replace my water pump.. Do I buy the short water pump or the long water pump?... I would like an original visual appearance although it doesn't have to be to NCRS standards.
Any suggestions as far as a specific pump I should purchase?
Thanks

Hi b,
I believe the original water pump for your L-46 was pn 3782608 and was the short style.

Hi b,
If your bid doesn't work out consider Arthur Gould Rebuilders.
They rebuild both water and fuel pumps but also offer outright sales.
They may or may not have what you need in their stock.
