Dave, I totally agree with you...it is a PITA to changeout a water pump. I have done many, but never on the Cobra, and I don't look forward to that day. I've been blessed that my Edelbrock pump has not given me any problem.

I guess part of my thought was directed towards how confident are we that a new Edelbrock pump will be any more reliable than the failed unit? I base this only on the inconsistent reliability reports and our lack of knowledge about the quality control Edelbrock has in place for parts and assembly.

My thought has always been that if a task is within my ability and I do it myself (or under my eye), at least I know it was done the best I knew how and with the best parts I could find.

Part of the joy of being a gearhead!
