Just so it's out there, water pump impellers are directional and need to turn a certain direction. Stock Vette WP's turn counter clock wise.
Good work UV, looks great.

Russel from Summit they look nice but other than that they kinda suck.

After getting that figured out found out they interfered with the cast style centerbolt covers so I had to locate spacers, copper washers, and bolts long enough to mount. Sorry run on but just wanted to make sure no else got stuck buying these thinking they're a simple bolt like advertised. Thanks for the compliment though.
