Hi Dave,
There was a thread on the Carrier forum about this issue, search 'Ford V8 water pump rebuild kits'. I got my kits which include the ceramic seals from Gotham Auto Parts in New York. Since fitting they have been fine, just do skim the inside of the pump body where the seal sits.

After doing more searching it looks like all the suppliers I found are selling the same seal. Having the pump off for the 3rd time I am coming to the same conclusion as the above posters( thanks guys! ) that the pump body needs refinishing where the seal mates to the casting. I have a milling machine so this should not be a problem. If the casting is the problem, then the seal kit I am using is likely fine. Thanks for all the advise.

In the end I re-surfaced the casting where the seal contacts the pump and no more leaks from that area. The new pump gaskets were made of very poor quality paper and had to be replaced. all is well now. Thanks for all the help.
