Wanted: CMP water pump 216 engine

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Richard

show us some pictures of your truck....some of us are illiterate.....
Water pump ....as long ass it is fro a 216 block one or two holes are not critical they do surface occasionally ....local part shops may be of some help..... the older the store and the smaller the community they service the better.


Radiator.... in good shape.... are very hard to find...... if your current radiator can be fixed go for it....remember to tell the rad shop you deal with a 216 that the engine runs at 1 or 3 pounds of pressure if any....... best bet is if your bottom and top rad tanks are still good have the rad shop fit you with a HD 3 layers new core.....
Radiator housing to the engine head is best found in your friendly junk yard...... do a deal with the owner...... you find it and you remove it....bring your own tools........ 1939 to 1959 should be all the same.... the older the better....once you have the neck piece you can measure the indentation diam. where the thermo. fits and obtain from most local autoparts shop....look for a 165 degree F to 180 degree temp......... a good place are old school bus wrecks with rusted Chev 6 cyl..... not GMC......

Good luck
