ok i have to get the coupler that connects the water pump to the gear drive off the cam..

i went to the dealer to get one $63.97!!! i said f#ck that...

were else could i get one?...im gonna try a couple junk yards but if that doesnt work then what?
i have all my money delagated already...so if i have to pay 65 bucks for this then i cant get my T-5 rebuilt...
im a poor @ss
anyone have an extra? lol

 

i called every friggin junk yard in the state of MI (and 1 in ohio)and noone has any LT1 parts...
just my luck

 

You could get a CSI electric pump. The go into the stock housing, but eliminate the weep hole. When a stock style pump goes bad it leaks fluid out the weep hole right onto the opti spark so your water pump going bad can cost a lot of money.

well im not using an opti,,

this will be carbed for the summer..

those csi's are nice..

 

L99 engines in other 'B' cars use the exact same parts. $64 for that little piece is a rip.

 

i made sure i asked if the yards i called had any of those cars aswell..i asked if they had any roadmasters, caprices (either motor) or camaro/firebirds
no luck there either..
im gonna search around the web for 4th gen salvage yards...i may score one for a few bucks

when the guy at the parts counter was looking up the part i saw 2 parts on the screen...on was like 5 and some change and the other was the 65 dollar gem....i though to myself "no way its 65 bucks".....its like 2 inches long...hell i could probly make one for $8.67

 

I have one you can have.
