Default Water pump recommendation

Just got my transmission shifting problem solved recently, and now the water pump went out. Fortunately, it happened just outside my driveway and wasn't catastrophic. Just leaking and making an awful racket. Anyway, the OEM Jag pumps are around $300, but others range anywhere from $25 to $100 some are remanufactured. I replaced the original plastic-impeller pump during the restoration process several years ago, with a remanufactured Beck Arnley pump with a metal impeller. I'm not sure why the pump would go out that soon, but I suppose you get what you pay for sometimes.

What are your recommendations for a good quality pump? Thank you

Always dangerous to recommend something, but I replaced my water pump with a new metal impeller type from Welshes ($39.00) a couple of years or more ago and it seems to have been fine.

the delco one piece has smaller ports than most other kits but it’s not a problem

the oe pump switched to two piece. you should use the paper gasket but there’s several kits with the old metal gasket that work fine.




delco one piece vs discontinued white impeller one piece
