Default FlowKooler waterpump...ose it?

Lookimg to replace original L98 water pump, nothing wrong with it, just 21 years old. FlowKooler in Summit catalog looks like an edelbrock, but about fifty bucks less.

It's aluminum, high vol...anyone use it?

Thanks for feedback

Jack

I have a low mile edelbrock on ebay right now. the only problem with it is the guy scratched the inlet area when he was pulling the hose off.
I bought a vette and he had a 383 in it, but I bought it rolling b/c I already had a motor ready to drop in.
It's got less than a day to go still at $1

might save you some real cash, should have about 200 miles on it from what he said.

I've had mine on for a couple years. Coupled with a 180 stat, definitely noticed a drop in temperature.

I'm not familiar with flow-kool .. I went to their site but didn't see anything different about them than a standard water pump?
I'm always looking to learn about new parts though

Are the Duralast water pumps from Autozone any good? I've used them on my Firebird with no problems.
