GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE study these instructions carefully before installing your new water pump. If you have any questions or

problems, do not hesitate to contact our Technical Hotline at: (310) 782-2900.

• DESCRIPTION

This Edelbrock aluminum water pump is a reverse rotation heavy duty water pump for both street and racing

applications. It is externally the same as original equipment pumps designed for the applications listed below,

but MUST BE USED WITH REVERSE ROTATION SERPENTINE BELT PULLEYS. This pump is ideal

for street rods with aftermarket serpentine belt pulleys. It offers weight savings along with increased durability

and cooling potential. An additional feature is the threaded tab for a cam stop that can be used to pre-load the

front cover and limit camshaft forward thrust.

• APPLICATIONS

#8882 is a short leg pump for 1955-’68 passenger cars, light duty trucks, and 1969-’70 Corvettes with

aftermarket serpentine belt pulleys (reverse rotation). Polished Aluminum Water Pump #8892 fits the same

applications as #8882.

• ACCESSORIES

Use #8830 Spacer Kit for short style pumps to clear competition camshaft gear drives and belt drives. Kit

includes 1/2" thick water pump and crank pulley spacers.

• INSTALLATION

Installation is the same as for original equipment

water pumps, except that aftermarket reverse rotation

serpentine belt pulleys MUST be used. Consult ser-

vice manual for specific procedures, if necessary.

CAUTION: Be sure that fan bolts don't protrude

through the hub so far that they hit the water pump

housing.

NOTE: Removal of backing plate is not recommend-

ed, as there are no user serviceable parts in the water

pump. If backing plate is removed, use no sealer on

O-ring equipped models, and use conventional gasket

sealer (not RTV silicone) on gasketed models.
