Re: Water Pump Question

Autozone doesnt have it listed what it is. Someone has to know this. The reason i need to know is so i can get the right alternator and power steering bracket.

You're correct: While the website would have provided you with the correct w/p, it wouldn't have provided the info you require.

Re: Water Pump Question

I would say the majority of small blocks have a long-style water pump. Blocks from the sixties and vettes used short-style pumps. If you were inclined to piece everything together, you could use whatever you want. Unless clearance is an issue, there isn't a compelling reason to use the less common short-style pump and associated hardware.
