IML: Water Pump

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joe,
The online catalogues are great for cars 10 or 20 years old. Much older than 
that, you'll need to walk in to a parts house, ask the kid behind the 
counter to get out his actual parts book, and then reference the proper part 
# to their listing in the computer. As far as I understand, that water pump 
should be the same from '59-'74ish, or later. It seems that the water jacket 
housing changed slightly in the 70's, this is what the water pump attaches 
to. You have some options for this unit, the race influenced aftermarket 
offers light weight aluminum water pumps and housings. This is of 
questionable benefit for us. Others may be able to give the pros and cons. 
The $$$ involved would be one of the cons. This should be an easy part to 
get in either steel or aluminum.

Q#3:  I am having some difficulty finding a water pump for the 1961 Imperial 
at parts houses' on-line catalogues.  Is the water pump the same for all 
'60's era Chrysler 413 engines and does it make sense to replace it if it 
hasn't failed (as far as I can tell)?
