Thats what I bought, should I return them for something better? They were like 1.25$ each so if they will work I'll use them at that price, I checked the part number and he gave me the right intake gasket for my Vortecs, I just told him to give me 8 sparkplugs for those same heads, he only had ACDelco Plats, so I took the autolites, will they work? I don't really care if there is something better....(do tell so the next time I buy I can get better) I just want to know if these will work.

Edit: can someone tell me if the 87' camaro serp setup uses short or long water pump....it looks short...but I have no idea.

 

i just used the double platinums with my vortecs... so i dont know about the spark plugs...

but i think all small blocks after 67 except in corvettes used the long water pump... i know that all early thirgens did... but im not sure about serpentine systems... id guess that they use the long too... if you got a picture of your old water pump, or just take it in when you get a new one and they can probably figure it out for you... (theyll probably want a core charge too if you are indeed gonna get a new water pump)

 

well i bought a water pump...like 35$.......i just told him i wanted a water pump for an 87' camaro.....87 was the first year for serp setup on my car....i have no idea if that effects the water pump....nor do i have any idea....blah.....i dont' trust guys at places like pep boys or advance.....most know even less then i do....i am left assuming that pep boys computer selected the correct part....i guess ill find out when my 305 is out and im trying to put my belt system on the 350

 

R44LTS is the correct AC-Delco non platinum plug. Have the counter person at the parts store cross reference this # over to Autolight and see if it matches the ones you got.

Personally, I only use the AC's

 

I only use Autolite plugs, they are a good plug. Your setup is a long water pump. The difference between a V belt driven water pump and a serpentine driven is the rotation. The serpentine driven water pump is known as a reverse rotation pump. It is spun in the opposite direction as the V driven pump.

Switching the two will result in painful over-heating problems.

as long as the guy looked up the right application for your plugs then you're fine. autolite makes an excellent plug

 

rbob, are you saying the water pump i bought from pep boys isn't going to work? or did he know what i needed and give me the right one?

the diff between "long" and "short" is the neck where the pulleys go on right, not the inlet/outlet legs..

 

As long as the pump he gave you is for a serpentine setup and that is what you have, you are good to go. To check a pump for rotation remove the rear cover plate and compare the direction of the curve on the pump vanes to your current pump.

The short/long pump difference is in the mounting legs.
