Re: Water Pump Question 1940 - 110

IMO it never hurts to have a spare pump. Even though the car isn't out much things can still fail. If murphy visits, then it would be just your luck when you do go out all kinds of interesting things happen to something you thought had been fixed.

Kanter has new repros so you could buy new and still have your old core to rebuild at some point -- although the cost of a rebuild is probably close to the repro price.

If you do keep the old pump in operation, Max has ready made individual gaskets for $3 each so unless you enjoy doing that kind of stuff, the price is low enough to not bother.

The motor mount isn't going to get any better. Since you have to be working in the area anyway, might be just as well to do that too.
