ISO 1955 Water Pump

[Cat Lover]

1955 I need to replace the water pump on my 292 v8, and sources for the pump and backing plate and high capacity water pump information and availability.
I have read that a high capacity upgrade is available for the water pump and for the backing plate.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can obtain these items. I would love to drive my car with the top down one of the warm summer nights. thank you

I installed the high output water pump that CASCO sells. I installed this pump on my T-bird engine without using the modified spacer and it took care of my running hot at idle issues.

The baffle is not needed and tests showed it doesn't help anyway. The baffle is the thin plate, not the Paragon Ames Spacer, which many test does show helps but which seems to no longer be available. In addition to the CASCO high flow pump there is also one made by FlowKooler.

Moderator Note: Correct. The Paragon spacer is no longer available anywhere.
