Our local NAPA store will rebuild them.
There are a lot of old NORS water pumps out there, have had
bad luck with them.

Water Pump
Hi everyone!
Thanks for the info on my previous post
(pinion seal, trans pan gasket for 1956 Chry NY).
I?ll see if I can get them from RockAuto or
Kanter.
Now my car issues have entered a new
realm; the water pump appears to be leaking. And from the research that
I have done, the 55 and 56 354 water pumps are not easy to find. Many
sites encourage using a conversion bracket and using a big block chev water
pump but that requires going to an electric fuel pump and replacing the timing
chain cover. Way more work/conversion than I want to do to the
car.
Kanter and Egge list 354 water pumps but
I suspect they will need my core to rebuild. I am afraid that the
shipping back and forth of that heavy cast iron water pump between the
US and Australia will not only be
expensive but time consuming.
Do you know of a source for a rebuilt
water pump or do you think that if I can find a competent shop (may be
challenging!) to rebuild it, that I can order the components and have it
rebuilt here? Any thoughts would be
appreciated!
Thanks again for your
help.
Cheers,
Eric
