You have a reverse-rotation, long water-pump.

Just because Jegs, PAW or Summit don't list it, doesn't mean it's not available. They only list a small portion or their stock. It's best to just call and ask them.

Example. Look at all the cams they list for Crane or Comp then look in the Crane or Comp catalog. All those cams are also available from the mailorder houses but they won't list them all.

Does my 91 LO3 Camaro have the same? I have been wondering that for a while now. I don't think it is reverse flow though.

The serp belt spins the water pump backwards compaired to a V belt small block so your L03 should be reverse flow EROCK. Also they stopped using the short in the 60s (I think) exept for a few applications (read Vette). Please correct me if I'm wrong, Knowing me I am.

Re: do I have long or short water pump

I'm about to purchase a Meziere water pump for my '89 GTA and it lists it either with or without the heater and bypass ports; which one should I buy for my car? Thanks in advance.
