Hi

I have 1989 TPI with serpentine. Here's a picture:



I have to change water pump. This topic confused me: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/cool...tion-part.html

It seems that this engine have a reverse rotation for water pump, so this part, suggested by rockauto.com for my engine, is not correct: https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/mor...nid=305&jpid=0

So what part do I have to buy?

thanks!!

 

ACDELCO 251594

Edited 251594 is direct replacement for serpentine NEW, not reman'd

 

well... Im a bit confused. You answer begins with "251594", but the link you wrote just after refers to "252719".

Im not an expert, what is then the pump I need for my 1989 serpentine TPI?

 

252719 Or 251725

 

thank you!

the price is much higher for the 251725. May I ask if you know why?

 

The 251725 is a NEW AC Delco, not reman'd pump I believe. I bought the same one last year for my 88 GTA, Serp. setup.

 

Solved. This is ACDelco answer to my email:

In regards to your water pump inquiry, both water pumps will fit your vehicle by application. The 251-725 is the OE stock replacement. The OE parts are made specifically for certain vehicles.
The 252-719 is the aftermarket professional line. While the aftermarket will work for your vehicle, it is made to fit a list of multiple vehicles, so it is more economical.

We always recommend using the OE replacement, but either should work for your vehicle.

However, I'm still have the doubt The most expensive cost mery much in shipping also, and I think the 252- works on both verse. :/

 

I just went to Napa Auto parts and got a AC Delco pump for my 90 Iroc LB9 305, same engine as yours ....

Not sure if they are abundant in Italy ...?

 

I believe Nig has the 5.7. Yeah, shipping to Italy would be pricy. Stay within your budget.

 

What ever you do dont buy a Weiand team g. I got one and they are junk...

 

This stuff is practically impossible to find in any place in Italy. The only thing you can do is order from some US site. I'm happy I'm having the cars today, and not ten or twenty years ago :/ Then, one would provide you a new pump for something like 300 euros or more
