Water pump

[Andy J]

Got my 96 in the shop having a few little bits done and theyve just got in touch to say the water pump has started to drip. Knowing it sits right above the fabulous optispark im going to sort it immediately.
So any recommendations for a replacement? Usually i go with OE or similar and i see Rockauto list a few including AcDelco which would be my first choice.
Ive also asked Eurovettes for a price too as hes my go to for bits.

I caught the tail end of a discussion about this on a US forum and one of the most highly recommended options was a unit from Petris Enterprises:

OPTISPARK DISTRIBUTORS and KITS

Optispark Distributors and complete Optispark service kits for all 1992-1997 GM LT-1 and LT-4 Engines.

Hope that's some help!

Im asking about replacing the water pump not the optispark but thanks!
I want to get the pump replaced before it starts to leak so badly that i need to do the optispark too.

Sorry, i see they do water pumps too!

No apologies needed, I misread your post and presumed you were going to change the Optispark just in case! Hah!

And, no, I didn't realise they did pumps.

I think, with regards to the pump, as you say, any OE-style affair from RockAuto would be a good shout.
