Hey all,
Anyone use a rebuilt original water pump from Heartbeat city for 69 Camaro?
I just bought one and have installed it on the car (69 SS350). Spoke with a guy tonight who bout one a few years back and said his blew up and sent the fan into the radiator. The second one he got from them leaked non stop so he put a replacement A/C delco on the car. Anyone have any feed back. Have not started the engine yet so i guess now is the time to send it back if they are no good.
Thanks

Thanks guys,
My original was long gone so this seemed like the best choice. Just hope I have no problems because the engine is all detailed now and it will be a mess to take apart.
thanks again.

I have one done by Arthur Gould. Got his name from Hemmings add. I called him and he did it in one week for $80. Haven't used it yet but he was nice on the phone and has been around for awhile.

Exactly, buy a core and send it to Gould. They rebuilt a couple for me and had fast turnaround.
