If it's going in a 70 or later body, get the aluminum water pump...

I just started a thread on something that may help with the breathing issues.. Maybe it can help you all out...
Trouble Breathing - Shortness of Breath - COVID
I've been there a few times... Had a good time...
I had a friend in Wyandotte who's son used to race there weekly... 340 Duster...
And worked with another guy who ran a blue 65 Barracuda there....
Sad to see it go....
We used to go up there before they build the Route 66 track out here...
Saw some great ones at Union Grove; Don Garlits, Don Prudhome, Shirley Muldowney....
Great memories.... :D

And those were the days before Fast-N-Furious...
