Recently purchased a old flatbottom with Nicson vdrive and Ford 460. PO told me the electric water pump was bad, looking at options to replace. Go with another electric pump, which would be simple or go to some kind of mechanical pump, looks like to
Me that a car pump will not work. Also has dry headers on it, might have to go to wet headers, no idea how to plumb. Ideas would be appreciated.
Can you post a picture of your timing chain cover? Does it have the provision for a mechanical cam driven water pump?
