Water pumps

Hi, for the 63 cdv,  has anyone bought one lately?  There was a discussion couple years ago regarding gates, cardone suppliers.  Apparently, the gates impeller stuck out a tiny bit which would impair the unit to function.  But the cardone unit had the proper specs.  That was several years ago, thus the updated question,,currently, cardone are unavailable on the usual suppliers like rockauto, et al.    

CSO I was wondering if anyone had purchased another supplier beside cardone.  Also, on Ebay, there are several rebuilt units for sale, would you consider Ebay a reliable source of a rebuilt unit..

Thanks

I would not, with the reason of quality control.  If you have an old pump, send it out to get rebuilt.  I have cores for 25.00 if needed.

would this be the correct impeller for the 63,  the side view of the picture of the parts repair manual looks very similar, and some photos of the cardone replacemnt looks very much the same.   

What clearance or measuremnt and where would be needed to determine if this pump is set correctly,   and what is that measurement,,

[3ft7bqmb7dryo]

That is the correct impeller.  The gap needs to be in the 1/16 range to 1/8

Were is the gap to be measured from?  The. Exposure of the prop from the base?  The inner gap from the back of the propeller to the back of the case?  Just not sure which meant I, looking for
