Studebaker Water Pump Clearance
Sep 2005 Read service letter S-1048 dated July 10, 1962. (Bottom of this page) There are a number of reproduction V8 waterpumps around that are not correct. The impeller is to far away from the housing and the pumps do not pump enough water around the block and radiator and the cars overheat.
The critical dimension to check is the tip of the impeller to the
mounting flange ,934-.938 ". R.Kapteyn studebaker@mac.com |
