water pump?

i just bought a new and was told it was an electric one. it is still complete and in the housing. i got it for $50 with housing so i really dont care if its not but i am just wondering how i will be able to tell if it is an electric one or normal. without opening it up and looking. or maybe i am just completely confused and have no idea what im talking about but could someone help me out Thanks Joe

is there 2 electrical wires coming from it, if you anwsered yes, then you have a electric pump if you anwsered no them you have a mechanical pump

the lt1 pumps are cam driven so there is no pully for it
