Replaced mine with napa part. Works well now. I had some problems with new leaks because I also bought a new pressurized radiator cap (both numbers from PIF). Seems like all the other seals couldn't handle the pressure. If you use the pressure cap don't tighten it all the way. It has a safety catch that keeps the system closed, but lets some pressure out. The pump was number three in my cooling fix. One was dist tube and sludge cleaning which forced number two, radiator replacement. Cooling is much better with water that actually flows through the block and radiator.
