[Tigers] flow kooler

[William Lau]

You won't have the chance to learn too much because they don't break very
often.  Another thing that can vary on the pumps is where the plate you bolt
the pulley and fan is pressed to but it can be moved wherever you want by
pressing it or pulling it.  Just make sure you back the impeller if you are
pressing it on more or you will break the pump or bearings. -- Bill --

Thanks so much!  I guess I have to become more conversant in Ford engine
production!

If you KNOW your 260 is completely stock then you want 8842 the one
Edelbrock says is for the 65-67 289 special.

Ford made a running change to the water pump  some time in late 65.
They changed the front timing cover at the same time. So parts are not
interchangeable.  You must use the water pump that works with the timing
cover on your engine.
Remove your water pump. If you can see the impeller, then buy 8842. If
the water pump has a steel plate held on by two bolts that prevents you
from seeing the impeller, buy 8841.

Ford also change the pump material.  Original pumps had an Aluminum
body.  The pumps with the backing plate were made from Cast Iron. In
some Mustang parts catalogs you will see them listed as Cast Iron or
Cast Aluminum pumps.
