Reminds me of the Targa tops that fit all 68 to '98 models...

Sheesh.

[vreference]

Getting that core is going to be tough.

[dshepp806]

Couldn't help but "ask the seller a question"..

.....GEEEEEEEEEZE.......

[dentist90]

It would seem that the PO of my Porsche didn't replace this part on my car and has somehow rigged it to run without! Damn!

[benzyne]

The water pump failed on my 911SC, that that one bolted right up as advertised.

[oldE]

Too bad the old E is a '69. I guess that wouldn't fit.

LOL. This is the fundamental problem with the automotive aftermarket. There is a massive effort underway to "normalize" data descriptions for replacement parts.

[cstreit]

Hate to be a spolier, but could it be for a 924/944?

[legion]

It looks like a water pump for a 924.

[targa911S]

Boys...read the fine print. It says it's for a 4-1983 2.0L SOHC

[dentist90]

Ya, we saw that... but that's not funny at all then, is it?

Wayne, IIRC, that's one of the 40+ aliases under which US Auto Parts sells. That would make it a $325 million/year fly-by-night operation.

I have a 2.0L (though wrong year) in my car but I can't find the water pump at all. For that mater, I just looked at my radiator and it looks like there is oil in it. Bummer.
