[AMC-list] Water Pump Recommendations

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

I carry a high flow aluminum water pump for AMC V8s for 79.95 + shipping.  It is every bit as good as the Edelbrock without having to pay the extra for the name.  It is aluminum, has a high flow impeller with anti-cavitation design and flows roughly 30% better than a stock pump..  I have sold this pump for years with no complaints and run it on my cars. 

I love the fact that Edelbrock has some of these items for AMC, but in this case, I would save my money as you are not getting any benefit for the extra money.

Well my pump on my 70 304 Javelin is leaking.  And just after I changed the
fluid and put in a new highflow thermostat.  The engine is barely broken in
so I am afraid it might be running a tad on the hot side.  I also switched
to an AMC 727 Trans from a 73 donor car.  So I wanted to get an upgraded
water pump and thought an aluminum body would look nice.  I also have an
Edelbrock intake, carb and aircleaner.  So, I could go with the Edelbrock
8831 which is high flow but kinda pricey.  I saw another make that was
aluminum, higher flow at idle and mid speed but stock flow at cruise.
However, I think it was only available for the 73 and up.  Anyone know of
anything that will work on the 70 V8.  It is mildly upgraded, still very
streetable.  I am a bit worried the Edelbrock might be too much, moving the
coolant too fast.  Any comments/recommendations would  be appreciated.
