I am very pleased with my Edelbrock Victor water pump. I installed it 12 years ago and no problems since. It's an aluminum hi flow pump so it trims a few pounds while moving up to 25% more water.

Thanks for the suggestions, are the pumps in our cars clockwise or counterclockwise?

Depends on the year. Later ones with serpentine belts go counterclockwise, but earlier ones with vbelts are clockwise

They make one for the serpentine setup that is reverse rotation. It's what I use.

They have them on ebay for serpentine cars that are aluminum for a steal. I have them on two of my cars and I love them. No core charge to deal with.
