Water pump to buy?

[37 Coupe]

Too many pumps too many choices.Only thing I have decided on is Bratton;oe Snyders and one has 2 year warranty other is 1 year >Why go away from both great service.

I agree that a person can get by for a long time with an original pump .The original will require adjustment of the packing nut and greasing from time to time . replacement of the packing will be a part of the maintainance when needed .The only leakless pump that I bought didn't last very long . The leakless pump had a seal that could be seen on the front of the packing nut . I buy the parts and build my own leakless water pumps . Mine usually last 15 years or more but end up costing about as much as buying a leakless pump . No water pump will be leak free forever

Per Tom Endy’s advice I bought a Jim Rupert water pump about 14 years ago, and it has about 14,000 miles on it now, with nary a leak.

In England the Pinto was made here at Fords Dagenham plant by the million .They went up to 2300 cc . They were a "non interference" engine so no damage when the cambelt failed The junkyards were full of them but now long gone , They were fitted to vans,Capri coupes and Cortina sedans

John in Suffolk County England and Happy Thanksgiving to you all .

carbon and ceramic seals are no magic bullet,worked on dishwashers for decades that had them,replaced hundreds,they will go in time.I would stick with the stock pump,simple and lasts and lasts!
