Which water pump for 1969 340?

[69-340]

Just wondering what is the consensus on water pumps for a 1969 340? I'm trying to go pretty close to stock in terms of putting money into the car, trying to go for an OEM look as much as possible.

Should I just buy a cheap water pump off RockAuto or do you guys suggest something different? I have the pump that was on there but I don't think it's original (can't say for sure) and it's crusty and old so I just want to replace it. Also, where should I buy the original looking OEM style hoses & clamps?

I went with a NAPA rebuilt. It's been working fine for 8 years.

I used the original cast iron style (and not the newer aluminum pump). Didn't want to hassle with a new radiator or repositioning the inlet/outlet. Note: I did use the high volume cast iron pump. Btw: No AC or PS.

One for a 69 340 will probably be best.

Something to keep in mind.
There is a difference between AC pumps, and Non AC pumps.
6 vain = AC pump.
8 vain = Non AC pump.
AC cars use a smaller water pump pulley. Make sure you use the proper pump and pulley combo.
