Water Pump Recommendations
All - Replacing the water pump and looking for recommendations.
Currently running the stock water pump on my 73' 350 but very interested in upgrading to an aftermarket aluminum pump. Recommendations - Edelbrock, Moroso, Weiand, etc???
I also see that Summit Racing has a GM Aluminum pump for $109 - part # NAL-14011012.
Thoughts?

I have a piece of junk Weiand I'll sell real cheap. I bought it from a forum member, never used so I can't blame him. It has leaked 3 times on me. The back cover just will not seal. I cannot recomend a Weiand. I put the stocker back on and no problems. I'll replace it with a better aluminum one. I have heard good things about the Edelbrock Victor series pumps.

Get your water pump from Stewart; they make NASCAR-type water pumps in several different stages. The major difference between the stock water pump and the Stewart water pump is that the Stewrat unit has more impeller blades than the stock version, and the coolant will flow faster, thus better cooling.

I have a Stewart Stage 2 water pump on mine and it moves alot of water, no problem with cooling at all.
