M1009 water leak

[alm0263]

My 84 m1009 has a leaky water pump. Anyone know the gasket part number? Or an easier quick fix?

It's leaking on the passenger side, out of the seal between the pump and block.

Thanks

Should be the same as a stock 6.2L
Try your local auto parts stores

If the water pump gasket is leaking, this is a good time to get a new water pump, hose, belts and change the antifreeze. Only thing you don't want to mess with is the thermostat, if there is no problem with it. Wayne

Wayne - why the reference to the thermostat?

The bolts have a habit of breaking off when trying to remove the cover. Wayne
