Does any one have suggestions on where to send a water pump for rebuilding or do you think I should have a local machine shop turn a new spindle as the old one is scored where the packing goes?

It looks like the impeller is just pressed onto the shaft. I was thinking about possibly having the shaft made slightly over size and then hone the front and rear brass bushings accordingly.

Any input is much appreciated.

Your local NAPA store has rebuild service.

Arthur Gould is the way to go.

Find a copy of last month's Buick Bugle magazine. There is a good article on older water pumps in it.

Dan: I took the pump from my series 75 to a local machine shop. He made me a new shaft and after a Little machining he was able to put 2 modern seals in the old packing area. He made a new rear bushing. I then put a sealed roller bearing in the front. My front was originally a roller bearing. So far I am very happy, no leak
