Hello everyone. Yesterday, the water pump seal and bearing went out on my stepdads 1959 Cadillac series 62 convertible. I think that rebuilding it will be the best option. I am a little leery of the rebuilt/exchange water pumps out there online. Money is not a problem this time because this inst my car. So, who is the best water pump re-builder for these old 390 water pumps?
It must be water pump season at my house.. I just had to replace the water pump on my 72' Cadillac a few months back.
Oh well.

As always, thanks for the help.

I've used this rebuilder "The Flying Dutchman" for over 20 years and never had a problem.
