Truck water pump, twisting the outlet? So I have a car intake with my truck water pump and the throttle portion (where the throttle cable attaches) of the TB was contacting the outlet of the water pump, so I took the tube out to twist it but now it just slides in and out without any to little resistance. So my question is, is there some kind of sealant I put on the tube when I slide it in that will hold it in place and not leak?

Run a L92 water pump the outlet is 45* and will clear the TB cable.

I respectfully disagree. You can easily put that back in, but I would recommend just changing the outlet to a car style, so it points toward the front. You can easily have the housing tig welded to shut the hole, and simply bore a new hole, and weld the outlet in. Or, Just do like he said and buy a new pump.

Thats what I figured, I planned on the L92 pump even before I messed with the outlet but figured Id see if I get to work. Thanks for the inputs.

The GTO pump is the same as all of the other car ones and would need spacers to work with the truck acc drive.
