OEM to Electric water pump Going from the stock oem water pump to a summit electric. My question what do I do with the shaft that goes from the timing cover to the water pump? Do I need to purchase a new timing cover or a type of plug? 94

If you want to plug it, there's a frost plug that any machine shop should have on hand that presses in, that's what I did. Also, if you've eliminated your secondary air system you can use that circuit (fuse and relay) to power the EWP with ease! Super easy and the RIGHT way to do it IMO. Let me know if you need help with that.

I still have the air pump and all the emissions tubing as the car was tagged and I needed to pass emissions. But now that I am taking it off the street and going full race I have to make several changes. Hence the EWP and other changes.

the most likely suspect for TC leak is the WP drive gear seal. The inner seal lip can fold over on install. There is a "tool" but a few home made versions (sharpie pen cap, socket) also work. The WP & Opti seals install "dry" BTW.
