Re: 258 water pump question

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Doug,

Jeep CJ-5's and 1965 American's with a 232 use a short water pump (I think 
it's the same short pump but I'm not 100% sure on that). I'm not sure how 
hard it is to get the right pulley but you may want to check with Jeep places.

What problem are you having that you're trying to solve with an electric 
fan? The stock cooling system should be able to keep your engine cool 
without any problems.
