Regal Waterpump crossover to Chevy?
« on: July 17 2012, 11:55:46 AM »
First, which way does the pump turn on our cars as view from the front.  I know later Chevy's usually turn ccw, but, I was thinking ours turn cw like the older v belt drives.  Too hot to go try to look at it.

Second, I know a lot of the older cars shared water pumps between Buicks and Chevy's.  I figure that I could find a larger selection of high volume pumps if I was looking for a Chevy pump than a Buick pump...hence the crossover question.

Okay, looks like it has to turn CW...so I would guess that a pump for the early 80s or so would swap

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
