Re: Need water pump info

["Erik Geerdink" <delorean502@xxxx>]

I bought the Waterpump kit from PJ Grady last March when my car was 
bleeding green. I ordered it with the pulley already on so it made 
life easier for me. It was nice knowing that everything was lined up 
the correct way and that all the parts I had in front of me were for 
the Delorean. It cost a little more, but I didn't have any problems 
and I didn't have to buy any extra parts.

ps
I have my old waterpump if anyone wants it. It still has the pulley 
on it.
