I was wondering if anybody is running an Edelbrock water pump. Mine is about to give and I was thinking of replacing it with an Edelbrock. Are these worth the money, or should I keep on using the FoMoCo brand?

I had one in my 87GT for 3 years. It was a waste of money IMHO. When my water pump went in my 92LX, I just went ahead and bought a stock replacement from http://www.buyfordmotorsport.com for $42

Good Luck.

If you are gonna run anything other then the stock pump, you should go electric. If your gonna spend money on a pump, buy the best youy can. Go electric

I have one. My three core made the most difference. But the Edel does flow more.

Thanks for the input people. You know, I hate it when my vieja gets logical on me and makes allot of sense!

She reminded me that the "Kragen special" has a lifetime warranty. "Won't it be a waste of money to go and buy one if you can get one for free?"

Since I'm planning to purchase another engine relatively soon, it makes more sense to go and pick up the "free" one.

At least it's a brand new one and not a rebuilt.
