Water pump prices
My water pump went out. I called 4 different parts houses and got 3 different prices. Auto zone said $27 for a new pump (i don't won't rebuilt). O'Reilly's and NAPA were both about $55 and the Chevy dealer said $97. Anything I need to consider besides price? Thanks.

I'm not sure if it applies to your year, but be sure to specify corvette, I think most corvettes used 3/4 hub diameter rather than the more common 5/8. Also, check the mounting flange thickness. If your alternator mount bolts with the water pump, you will have to resolve belt alignment issues if the flange thickness is different.

I have an iron Milodon I'll sell you for $40. I've only used it about 10,000 miles.

Pardon the ignorance, what is an iron Milodon?

I'd go to stewartcomponents and get one of their high-flow water pumps. Very good quality, not a bad price.
