Default Electric Water Pump

I have an '87. I would like to put one on but most places don't have any that will fit. Thanks.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "if someone would come up with an Idler pulley pulley's system for the L-98, so that an Electric Water Pump could bolt up, They would make there million". I'm surprised Maziere hasn't come up with something. Hey they would sell more of there product... JMO

I believe that Maziere has an idler pulley as you described. My catalogue is at home but I am sure I saw them for the L98 engines!

I misprinted; it is meziere.com and I believe you need to call them to find out if they have a pump for the L98. I will look in my catalogue tonight

Meziere (note the spelling, guys ) has an idler for the LS1 in the catalog......
Didn't see anything similar for the L98.

That is what I figured, or I would have had an electric on my unit...

I just bolted mine right on
I cut the lower brace to the Idler pully that bolts to the lower portion of the water pump and spaced the upper part of the a/c pully.
I took it up to 7400 rpm's and is has held so far.Napa has a 77 5/8 belt that will fit.Make sure you rev it up before you take it out on the road,you need to make sure the belt doesn't walk back towards the engine and tear up the belt.Takes a while to get it right but it works for me
