Colin, Not trying to be smart, but why don't you ask the source. The pumps
are new and the correct parts along with the package. MY phones is open as
the web site shows till 10:pm in the evening CST. Also, Anything ordered
that I can ship wednesday or before will arive for the weekend.

I wasn't looking for a cheap part I was just looking for something that I
could find locally so I could work on it on the weekend. I will have to move
the car very soon and didn't want to wait for the part. I was looking at the
water pump kit from specialtauto and was wondering if anyone knows if it is
a quality package that they have with the pump and the thermostat included.

anything else - I think Dan's right about this - but
our local motor factors here in England cross-referenced the thermostat
from what we gave him (Renault 30 or Volvo 760) to a Porsche 928 (!).

My new one cost me £13 so $18 sounds about right.

Oh, get a new gasket for it - it's not just a simple O-ring
