VET-005:
you can get the water pumps here for the old 350' but hard to get for the models that run a cerpentine belt as they are different and run in reverse precession.

Didn't think of that.
TIPPA:
For sure. Mine of course is the old style short nose pump, very common as we know, but there is such a huge difference in prices. Basically a cast iron std one is $60- $70 from most places except repco who want $220 :ado
I believe a good cooling system is important on a C3 so a high flow pump can't be all bad. The cheapest i could find here was a $300 Edelbrock which isn't worth it to me, but ordered another high flow one with a matching high flow thermostat yesterday from Ecklers for US$89 minus our club 20% off- so not a great deal more than a std one in the end.
My car usually sits at 200F stable, except at freeway speeds where it climbs to around 210F. I'm assuming due to constantly higher revs (3,700 or so with its 3sp auto). The high flow pump will only deliver more coolant flow when the thermostat is asking for it- fully open, so may help when i hit the highway on a cruise next. Like i said, for only a little more $it can't be a bad thing. I'll let you all know if its worth it when i take her out again.
Cheers for your input gents!:22
