I am running that pump, and am not using the cam stop. I don't know why you would need to.
As far as the pump, it is a good pump to use and has been no problem for me. The only issue is the casting is a little thicker than the stock casting. Mounting up the alternator adjustment arm and other brackets to the pump may require a little grinding of the pump and brackets to make them fit. I would still recommend the water pump, but just letting you know it may take a little extra work to install.

What about the pilot shaft. The vette has a 3/4" pilot doesnt it. Will using a pump with a smaller pilot shaft cause any pulley alignment problems? Something to consider anyway.

The cam stop is for roller cams. They don't have the slight angle ground in the lobes that pushes the cam towards the back of the block. You don't need it for conventional cams. Joe
