Waterpump, Buick '59

German Guy · 05-22-2003, 06:41 PM

Hello at all!
This is Jerry from Germany again.
There's a new Problem with my best friends Buickengine.
The waterpump lose a little bit of water.
But a "new" Waterpump kosts around 300€ (same to $) in Germany.
Does anybody know an web-adress of a dealer in the USA, where we can get a cheaper pump, new or restored?
Its very difficult to find an adress in www if you have no connection in this direction.

(Edit: or is it possible to obtain a restore kit ?)

Thnaks a lot for your help!!!

Regards Jerry!

Jerry, try Kanter Auto Products at www.kanter.com They show rebuilt pumps. The one for the 59 Buick is priced at $80.

Hi Todd,
thanks for the link.
I printed the importantest parts of this page for my frind.
I think, this price sounds very good. With shipping and tax maybe round about 200$. Better than 300...
Thank you!

Here is a rebuilt one at NAPA for $29.99 with a core charge of $4.44. Not a bad price! I don't know how they would ship it, but I used the USPS to ship an oilpan to Germany for $30. It took 4 weeks to get there though.

Hi German Guy,

I am from Buchholz/Nordheide just south of Hamburg ! We have a 1956 Buick Special 2-door Riviera !

For parts I am very satisfied with:
http://www.buick-parts.com/store.htm
(Etwas schwer zu navigieren, aber mit der ersten Bestellung kommt ein Katalog und ab da ist es kein Problem mehr...)

Viel Spaß noch und nicht vergessen:

The difference between men and boys,
is the price of their toys !!!
