Default Water pump

A couple of weeks ago someone on either here or FB posted a picture of a water pump they purchased from either NAPA or O'Reilly's. Being I am going to change my water pump. Could you please come forth and say which one it is.
thank you

Your specific C4 might narrow down the results.

L83 standard SBC
L98 reverse water pump
LT1/ LT4

LT5

First thank you for the help. What this person showed was the difference in the internals of the NAPA/O'Reilly pump vs Advanced Auto /Auto Zone pimp. I was just trying to get the better pump. I am pretty sure it was NAPA.
Thank you again.

I have the whole front of the engine apart. Working on the heads and intake tomorrow. God. This is a big job. TTFN

If I can't locate a GM or AC Delco or Denso part for my 96, I always default to NAPA. With NAPA, you still get good quality compared to all of the others imo

84s use the same pump as the L98s.
