Anyone know what would be a good replacement L98 waterpump? The best brand?

I saw edelbrock made one but I don't know about the overall quality of the product.

I replaced mine recently with a NAPA brand new pump. Paid $66.00 for it. I could not see paying $200.00 for a Delco part. I have used NAPA parts before without any problems. What's the best, I would say anything that is new. Not rebuilt or remanufactured.

I have had very good luck with NAPA parts... I have been recommending them over Delco...

Bought a NAPA pump 4 days ago. I will be installing it tomorrow. It looks like a quality unit...

I bought a Stewart water pump ($104 to my doorstep) because it pumps more coolant and my engine temp doesn't rise as much at stoplights in the summer.
