So I just realized that the water pump I purchased is passenger side inlet. I need driver side. I haven’t found anyone who makes an aluminum driver side inlet. I’m hoping you can prove me wrong. Help?
 
All drivers side up to and including 69 is cast iron. I am not aware of any 69-earlier aluminum water pumps ever being available.

if you find a source for them, 1/2 the people here would buy them all in 20 seconds
 
Another thing I have found with aluminum 1970 + pumps, on 63-66 A bodies, is you will loose 1 inch of radiator to fan space, which is criticle on some early A Bodie builds. That room is needed for clutch fans.

Just curious and not trying to hijack the thread, but is an aluminum passenger side inlet pump hard to find?
 
No its easier to find, just a later design. It looks more 'thin wall cast' than the old cast iron 273 style.
