so much for NORS parts
So I thought I would replace my 36 water pumps since I was replacing my generator, belt and hoses. Can't find them @ Drakes...Carpenter has them but are pricey. I found a pair in my box of parts that came with the car (unused still in the box replacement pumps) and put them on after pumping some grease in the fittings. Right side pump is a gusher. Can't trust these old parts that were made in the day. The fit was good but I guess the seals were not.

Re: so much for NORS parts
In some cases, I have seen a thin wall section of those in head water pump castings cracked wide open when using modern high pressure, commercial grade, grease gun equipment.

Re: so much for NORS parts
As already mentioned, if you want a good set of water pumps, send a set of original pumps to Skip Haney in Punta Gorda Florida for rebuild.

And, there's a possibility the pump(s) are not really NORS but the cores from a swap done many years ago.
