Correct Water Pump for Early 273 w/ AC

Oklacarcollecto said

I have had much better luck by buying remanufactured water pumps.

Your original pump is what I have on my AC 68 car and also what this auction shows for a factory water pump on an AC car.

Educate me. Is the pump I bought a new casting, as opposed to a casting from back in the day?

How can you tell the pump in the eBay listing is correct for a 65? The listing says 68-69.
