Evans Water Pump question - HELP :-)

Hi,

A while back I bought an Evans waterpump from A&A. I sold the car before getting a chance to install the pump, so I am selling the pump.

A potential buyer is saying that the pump requires special coolant fluid (from evans) Is this correct? Can anyone confirm or deny?

Thanks in advance,
Luis

What attributes makes Evans the best ? Is it best suited for 1/4 mile, road course, street, or does it cool better in all applications ? I have done everything I know of to make my car run cooler and be consistant except for changing water pumps. I thought about a Meziere electric pump but heard they would not flow enough for road course events to keep my car cool. In another case I once installed a "high flow" water pump on a 82 Z-28 and the car ran hotter; I speculated that the coolant was not held in the radiator long enough to cool the engine. If I recall correctly the Evans is a very high flow unit, around 140gph I believe

Hmmmm... I wonder what those changes are? I bought my Evans WP from A&A years ago and have been running conventional coolant through it without issue.
