How bad do you want one?

The A/C pump has 6 vanes and the non-A/C has 8 but the reality is many aftermarket pumps have 6 vanes whether A/C or not.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

and a lot of parts houses will sell you an 8 vane pump thinking it will work in an AC car.....then it gets installed and then the owner is having overheating issues and claim the W/P is new......

I have a 69 318 car with factory air and just replaced water pump in 2017 with this one from summit racing

Was 60 bucks has the 8 vanes and car never overheats. Only thing I had to do was cut away a small section of the A/C compressor bracket cause the GMB water pump casing has that extra water outlet which blocks a section of the bracket from mounting properly. Can't even see where I cut the bracket when it's all together.

My A/C never fails. 2 windows down and 65 mph. :2thumbs:
