I was told the pulleys are different ratio and turns pump at higher rpm.

  Why would Chrysler design a water pump with (6) blades for a a/c engine
and (8) for a non a/c engine?

  I have 3 re-built 60 up 4 bolt WP in stock. Both a/c and non a/c. a/c has
6 blade impeller, non a/c 8. That is correct, a/c has 2 less blades than non
a/c. A bargain at $45 and $50 a/c. Not a pump around that will not start
leaking at some point. No core required. I also have kits in stock while
they last, up to 58 $29, 59 up $23. What a bargain. Shipping applies.

  Went down to NAPA today as my water pump on my 62 Sport Coupe was leaking.
I had taken one of my one parts car that I had stripped some time ago,
figuring I'd need a "core" replacement. He checked and there are only "new"
ones available from NAPA now and he said to keep my old Pump which he said
looked pretty good and said there is a company that rebuilts them. Also he
said that old ones are worth keeping for that.

  Now, NAPA has brake shoes, but "NO" wheel cylinders or kits "LISTED" Food
for thought. I'm beginning to believe that I shouldn't throw anything away
now.

  There is a process called "Metal Spraying". I do not see any reason it
would not apply to drums. It is to specifically used to build up metal
surfaces to recondition. If someone wants to do a Goggle on line search,
there my be economics to do several at one time. I am not sure if turning
would work, grinding would. Maybe one of you out there has experience with
this process.

  You know, there was a time, back in the early 1950s, when welders who knew
their stuff took worn brake drums (usually from large trucks), preheated
them in a forge, then used a special rod and an electric welder to build up
the surface. The drum was then carefully machined back to original
tolerances, once again, by someone who knew what they were doing. I was
about 6 years old when I spend one whole Saturday watching my Dad build up a
set of truck drums for Tallent Transfer, a local long-haul trucking company.
Tedious work, to be sure, but given the low quality of Chinese drums,
perhaps it might be in vogue once again; assuming, of course, you can find
anyone talented enough to do it.

  Ask Bernbaum witch China they came from. There steel sucks. Gary

  Maybe so but "that's what's for dinner". When it says 'made in Mexico"
maybe that's the good stuff now.
