Need new water pump
My water pump periodically leaks and now there is ( I believe its comming from the water pump) a squeak. So the pump is on its way out and needs changed.
Now I've got a used one but its been sitting for awhile now, and I am afraid after talking to a guy at work that the o-rings are dried out on the inside and not sure if I want to take the time to change that one and have it leak too. And im not sure where to buy new orings for it.
So I was looking at just buying a new ac delco water pump seeing as from what I could find is that is the best bet for a mechanical pump. Would this pump here work as a direct replacement with no issues ACDelco 252-846.
thanks

My pump went out a couple months back and I ended up going to advance auto (or oreillys) and buying a new pump there and I've had no issues. Its not a rebuilt and looks just like the oem one, now if you you use this code (RAF7JA1101) like I did it also takes 35 bucks off the price of the pump . Mine ended up being just around 100 bucks with antifreeze and such....

As far as I know, the installation is exactly the same. Almost every parts store now only sells the ls2 style pump for ls1 f-bods. Maybe someone that knows otherwise will chime in.
