Electric!
 

whats up, does anyone know where i can get an electric water pump for a 79 or do they even make one? pls let me know if u have any info. thanks

You can get universal ones from Summit..but whats wrong with your mechanical one? They last pretty long...

there's nothing wrong with my old one, i just want to take off more load from the engine... so i mad e a new bracket for the alternator and im gonna put an electric pump in

From what I have heard, the electric ones can sometimes crap out when you need them the most, sending your temps up high. The mechanical ones are just more reliable, but if you really want to go electric, then for sure, summitracing.com

I dont know man. Though that would help with the alternatorwater pump belt squeeling issue. Of course, so does the 3 dollar yoohoo belt. Personally, I think it would be better to buy my driver taillight lens from me. Great shape! CHEAP!!!

where have you heard this? or are you confusing it with an electric water pump? because i have an electric fuel pump on my 280 that is the original, so thats 23 years its worked. wow maybe i should replace that?

1. Click edit button
2. Press and hold backsapce button until all words are gone.

Not to be a dick, but that makes no sense to me. I have been awake all night though.

There is a hugh post in the Performace section on pumps and where to get an in/out block to replace the mech pump with, Pics and everything.


Now lets see what you did to move the Alt.

Yes, show the pics of alt relocation

i have no cam and my car is in NY right now im in nj sry guys

likely story...

Just messin with ya. Was it very hard to do? I would like to do this myself to have a dual alternator setup. I have extra stock alts, so it would be neat and serve a purpose.

On the electric waterpumps, I would just stick with a mechanical one. From my experience with the Fbody crowd (electric water pumps are a popular mod), people say that work great but tend to fail all of a sudden w/o much warning. With how harmful overheating is to rotaries in general, I wouldn't want to take the risk.

its really not that hard IanS, especially if u have a mig welder (i borrowed my friend's), you just have to be creative and find out what fits ur style and purpose....as for me, i don't really care how "pretty" it looks, all i want is good quality, functionality, and cheap prices lol

You're too nice Ian. Personally I would have said
