Which Water Pump Is Best???
Hi everyone,
Well it looks like the water pump on my 1990 L98 is ready to take a dump, I think it is leaking and I can smell antifreeze.
My question is, has any one used an Edelbrock, Kool Flow, or Stewart water pump. My car is stock, and will be staying that way for a while. Having said that, I would like the advantage of a better that stock water pump pushing water thru my engine, plus they are all new, vs rebuilt.
Any insight or experience will be welcomed. Thanks in advance for your help.
Randy

I am using the Edelbrock Hi volume water pump.
works great.
Pumps 30% more water than stock.
Do they make one to fit your '90?

What about FlowKooler?
I'm thinking to change the stock waterpump on my new 396.
I tought also an electric meziere water pump.... but my car is a L98 and I haven't found examples of electric Water Pumps on L98..
The FlowKooler site sdvertise 30% more flow only up to a certain rpm (3000 if I remember..), restoring the flow level as stock, over 3,000 rpm. It seems good to me.
Opinions?
