IN HOT WATER INSIDE MECHANICAL WATER PUMPS
TAKE a quick peek at a “common” hot rod, and you’ll find the most common water pump is a mechanical, belt-driven job. There are thousands of different combinations of pumps with this format out there, but the reality is, not all mechanical pumps have not been created equal, particularly if high performance is the goal.
On the surface, all water pumps look the same. How do manufacturers build a better mousetrap? In the case of Edelbrock (the primary pump we’re featuring here), they determined that the internal pump water passages had to
