Technical Water Pump ?

Need a new water pump for the '77 350 Olds in my '49, am curious, any brand any better than others, how about a flowkooler? Know to get a new, and not rebuilt, just thought I'd ask to see what other folks have used. Thanx in advance for any input.

 

Stewart if your 350 is a sbc.

 

Make sure you check the timing cover for rust behind the water pump.

 

Man that's a nice looking Cad. I recently bought a pump, it was so cheap I thought it had to be a rebuilt. Nope, new, made in China. It's working OK but my first thought was a rebuilt original pump may be a better bet.

 

So nobody can recommend any brand over any other....?

 

You can usually get vintage parts at NAPA , I have had very few problems with them...
