I have a single extra NOS pump I got out if the classifieds a while back. I filled it up with fresh water pump grease, and painted it so its ready to go for a change out on Sunday. Its the later style with the port for a temperature sender that I intend to use to add a gauge, eventually. Last time out she ran 175* measured on the heads with the laser on an 82* day after 55 minutes to go 35 miles of surface street driving with red lights and traffic as usual.
