Always compare your part with the picture of your part as well as checking again

once it has been shipped to you. Subtle differences can cause big headaches. Several

years ago, I was sold a water pump for a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The word

Supreme should have told the clerk at the parts store that this car likely had air conditioning.

The clerk sold me a water pump for a non-air conditioned Cutlass Supreme even though they

don't exist. The difference in the two parts, one for w/air and the other w/out air was

about 1-2 inches for the length of the nose of the pump (where the fan attaches). Being a shade

tree mechanic, it took me all day to remove the old pump and install a new water pump on the car. 

Thinking I was almost done, the last step was the belts. I noticed the alternator belt was touching the engine

and would not allow the pulleys to move. Needless to say, I had to redo the entire job and trade for

the correct part. This cost me another day. Check and double check your parts when choosing

and when they are received.
