Water pump performance
Is there any performance difference between the different series of water pumps. Doing a 450-500 hp build on a 62 11B and need a timing chain cover. Would prefer original unless later units are superior.

I run a Flowkooler on my '79 400, and it appears to have pretty good flow when I burp the cooling system during services. But honestly, I think the biggest factor is proper clearancing of the divider plate. I don't think my Flowkooler is performing any better or any worse than a good cast-impeller stocker.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
