[Tigers] Tiger MKII Coming out of Storage

[csx2282]

Let me bore everyone with my opinion on 289 water pumps.  The original 
pumps, or at least the aluminum one I have, came with cast metal impellers. 
The replacements currently available have stamped sheet metal impellers. 
Maybe okay for a stock, street 289,  but not so good for a HiPo or a motor 
with a bit of tuning.  I recommend getting your original pump rebuilt using 
the cast impeller rather than buying one of these newer replacements.

I found a local auto parts store willing to take this on for me (A & M Motor 
Supply, Los Gatos, CA).  You might want to check around for someone in your 
area willing to rebuild yours.
