The "Judging Standards", states, "There are no casting numbers or part numbers on the water pump casting".
BUT, I found one yesterday.
Personally, I think it looks better than a plain one, if you are not going for points.
Is this a FORD replacement part ?
Thank you,
MIKE

my understanding is the pump with the part # is the Ford replacement that the dealers sold and used.

looks like a good candidate for a rebuild, I would definetly use it.

I think someone was making new pump housings years ago and added the part number, or copied from one that was an early replacement. Putting the part number on the part got stopped when Ford started requiring payment for the use of the number.
