    Hello,

    I've searched around and come up with as many threads regarding this topic as possible but just wanted to ask around to get the latest of peoples opinions.

    I have a 1976 Buick Electra Limited Park Avenue and it needs a new water pump. I have to have one shipped over to me in Pakistan and ive used Rockauto before (great service and decent shipping prices) so i wanted to stick with them.

    So here are my options below;

    1) AIRTEX Part # AW1045 Includes Gasket w/Alum Housing $17.44

    2) CARDONE SELECT #5513112 New; includes gasket $22.79

    3) Gates Part #43109 includes gasket $32.79

    4) BOSCH Part #98031 includes gasket $37.99

    5) ACDELCO Part #252122 $43.79

    Cost wise the Airtex part is clearly best as it is the cheapest but somehow the shipping is also $47.05 while the shipping for the others is approx. $67.00.

    I have read about people using this part successfully and would just like to get some first hand positive feedback before i bite the bullet.

    I hope to hear from you fellow members soon!

    Thanks

    Timmy
