I took the car over to Tommy and he says he uses an Edelbrock pump with a regular HATLESS thermostat.  His logic is that he has been working on these cars for 30 yrs and this is what works for him. He did not have a pump on hand for me to see.

From what Jack said in the newsletter, my guess is that Tommy has been using a water pump without a bypass outlet, which would explain why he has had no ill effects from this.

Please look at this FlowKooler webpage to see if this pump has the bypass hole. (I don't see a photo of the inside of an Edelbrock pump on their website.)

I have an Edelbrock pump and it certainly has a bypass.

This pump appears to have a bypass.

Thanks,

Jim,

I'm amazed to hear him say that. Almost every 351C water pump you can buy, from the $35 NAPA special to the $200 and up versions, shares the standard Ford architecture. There are loads of choices.

351c thermostats are easy to buy too. I prefer the RobertShaw 333-180 from Flowkooler, but Stant etc make $7 wonders for the 351c.

I think you should just go direct to the Flowkooler website and order a standard (no need for polished or powdercoated) water pump and their thermostat.

You could just install a normal cheap pump and thermostat if budget was an issue. But since nothing is wrong with your current setup, if you don't want to spring for the good stuff I would just leave it alone.

Mike

When was the last time someone installed a new water pump of the OEM style?
