Identify This Water Pump?????
This is suppose to be a 93 LT1 engine but the water pump is different than my 92.
1. My 92 doesn't have the small pipe circled in the picture.
2. Also, the engine has the black valve covers that I thought didn't come on LT1's until at least 94.
Can anyone answer those two issues?
Or maybe even better, I have the numbers off the block. Does anyone know how to decipher them?

I can answer the valve cover thing. I have the black plastic ones on my 93 and the 92-93 are the same car. Hmmmm, have to go out and take a look at the car for the lower heater hose attachment???

I just looked at my car and that is the lower heater hose attachment. The other line on the top left hand looking at the photo is the other.

Re: Identify This Water Pump????? (Goody)
OK, both of you have 93 models. Both of you have the small heater hose pipe on your water pump and the black valve covers.
I guess that answers the questions. It could be a 93 then.
Thanks guys......

The '92 pump is different than all other years. What is in the pic is indeed a '93. They also went to the composite black valve covers in '93.

Yup, the '92 doesn't have that heater hose. I replaced my waterpump and got a '92 somehow, and had it ALL together hooking the hoses up when I noticed.. i was not a happy camper! :mad :mad :mad
