ACDelco water pump from Focuz Tech
http://www.focuztech.com/xcart/produ...ater-pump.html
Anyone ever bought one of these from here? The water pump on my Z-28 is on its death bed. It's still flowing, but barely, and it's making a god-awful racket, so it's time to replace it. (It isn't even 20,000 miles old.
)
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has experience with one from these guys and how it went.

That's what I wonder as well. I mean, it says new in the description, but who really knows? I'll be calling the local dealership and seeing what they want for one. My stepdad has an account there, so we get a discount, but I don't know what that'll do for me on a water pump.
Good eye! Too bad that part number doesn't cross reference anywhere online. Google just brings me right back to Focuz Tech. What are the physical differences between the B-body water pump and F-body water pump? It's been a while since I had mine out, so I don't remember.
If you buy one, make sure it is for an f-body. The one in the pic is for a b-body.

Man, even with our account, the price is 300 dollars. Yikes! I think I'll explore other options. I might give Focuz Tech a call and see if their part is brand new, and make sure it's for an F-body.

You can get them at most part stores like autozone, advance, o'reily etc. If you are looking for a new one summit is a little cheaper. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...115+4294822066
Could also be a good time to go with a electric pump and reuse your stock housing.

AC Delco actually sells two different part numbers for the water pumps. 88926215 and 12527741. The first part is the cheaper one and is sold only by Delco dealers, not the dealerships. I have used the cheaper one twice now and have had no problems. It appears that is the part Focuz Tech is selling.

Doing some shopping around, I've found a few options. I'm waiting to hear back from Mike regarding the warranty on the parts he sells, so in the meantime, I looked at the national parts chains' offerings. All of them are in the 140 dollar range, and all have a limited lifetime warranty. It's basically a choice of which brand to go with.
ASC brand from Advance Auto - $147.99
This one doesn't say whether it's new or remanufactured.
Duralast brand from AutoZone - $143.99
This one says it is new.
Master Parts Division from O'Reilly - $147.99
This one also says it is new.
Bosch brand from Pep Boys - $143.99
Which one would you guys choose? None of these places are really too far out of my way. O'Reilly and Pep Boys are both on the way home from work, and Advance and AutoZone are both pretty close to my house.

No intent to hijack!!!!
I am changing mine prophylactically while I replace the headers. I am changing my opti as well, even though it is working fine. I was going to use the autozone water pump.
Please reply is you find any reason not to use a non-AC waterpump. I think it will help both of us.
