water pump gear after ewp?
What happens to the water pump shaft and gear after you put in an electric water pump? Are the shaft and gear left to free spin, or is it totally removed? I head the water pump gear acts as the damper for LT1/LT4 engines. Would removing the gear then call for an aftermarket damper?

They can stay and spin, or you can pull the timing cover and remove them. I left them in place, as many people have done, since I had no desire to take apart the timing cover at the time.

I can't find where I read that. I'll keep searching. I'm planning on getting a Cloyes Hex-A-Just timing set anyway, no gear to drive the wp gear. I just wonder if a damper is in order.
