Re: Water pump question...

Maybe some wire and connectors.
Summit sells a electric water pump instal wiring kit that makes the wiring easy.
You will need a dremel or grinder to clearance the water pump housing.
A big hammer to knock out the internals.
Other than that....no extra parts really, You will need some antifreeze and water pump gaskets.

Re: Water pump question...

just do a search on here for elec WP install, there is a good write up. And if you have any kind of electronic or wiring skills you wont need the kit from summit. It's pretty straightforward and there is a schematic included in the write up I was talking abot.

Re: Water pump question...

Yea I did a search and saw that link and also I talked to a guy from summit and he said I dont need anything extra so i'm gonna give it a shot without the wiring kit. Also is there any "better" brand of antifreeze coolant cuz im gonna flush my radiator also.
