Re: New fangled water pumps
I installed a pair of Denis Carpenter pumps on my '46, 59AB, a couple of years ago. They are performing well, no leaks and good temperatures. The impeller design is of the "closed" design, which is more efficient than the original "open" type. The only issues I had, was that one of the pumps had a cracked pulley when I received it, which I didn't notice until I sprayed on the primer paint. DC replaced the faulty pump with no questions. The other thing was, and only because I am very picky, is that the casting surrounding the bolt holes were not spot faced, to make them smooth and parallel to the back face. Ten minutes with an end mill and perfecto.
