Any leak issues?? If you have one - can you post a quick pic so I can see how it looks mounted on the motor..

Hey Dan,
I had one on my old Nova and it looked really good with a chrome water pump pully and a lot of chrome on the motor. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. If you're looking to chrome out your engine, it definitely looks good.

Dan, here's an old Zoom pump I bought from Super Shops a LONG time ago. It's still in service today.

No leak issues, but I always remove the chrome from the gasket surfaces with a rotary Scotch pad.

The chrome pumps that Summit has now don't have as good casting or finish.

That's a polished aluminumn pump no?? The finish looks a little more like the intake than like the timing chain cover (which I assume is chrome).
Nice set up you've got there..

Dan, it's chromed cast iron, must be the lighting.
