Never heard of a water pump that wouldn't pump....usuall y they leak and then get replaced.  If in doubt you could take it off and look at the impeller to see if it is intact.

IOt can happen. The impeller can become loose, and as the load on it increaes, the flow reduces.

There's really not much more it can be. Do the radiator cores looked clogged? Do you ahve a hose collapsing?

Flow Cooler makes a NICE unit

$81.99 though  :confused;

The impeller could be clogged up or rotted out. When are the fans coming in ?

As for water pumps, Poston's sells the high flow pump for about $40. I have
one in my Mazda, and it's da bomb !

D i am having the same problem with the new motor in my car.  Only difference is mine likes to pin the needle on 250 :mad; .  I am going to check the basics soon but if you have checked the therm and the rad then what else is there short of checking the water pump or pulling all of your hoses to see if there is any blockage in the lines? Not sure but when you find it let us know....and then come fix mine :D

I've had good luck with the Autozone $20 special. Use a Fel=Pro gasket.

When I got the New HP pump I compared them, and the impellers are totally different. The HP pump has a nice contoured cast aluminum impeller instead
of the stamped steel with bent fins.

The bearings are supposed to be different too, but I couldn't tell without cutting it open.
