Default Water Pump

My 72 has a Moroso WP P/N 63505 with 3/4" shaft. Is there a rebuild kit ? think the bearing is worn as the shaft has lots of shake. I looked at a WP from ZIP P/N WP-101 but do not know the dia. of the shaft on that part. Is the ZIP one 3/4" ?

There is a gasket and seal kit or you can order another one. WP-101 is an iron pump.

Thanks for the reply. I went to Summit looking at the pumps. I openend the pump this morning and the impeller looks ok. Those seals will take care of the slop in the shaft ? It doesnt not leak, but made a heck of a racket with the slop.

If you have side to side slop I would say the bearing is shot. You can check the Moroso site to see if they sell the bearing.
