Now Mark tells me :)

If I would have known this before I sure would have went for it.  
Anyone else who's planning to replace their water pump make a note of 
this.  I paid $34 for a pump alone, and Mark sells OEM stuff to boot.

Mark, I hope you don't mind me posting this reply to your private email 
to me, I think it's important for the rest to know this.  I'd hate 
for the others to go through what I did.

Now if only he'd sell me a can of R-12 to top of my A/C ( I got the 
hose) to make up for not telling me about the water pump deal :)
Hahahaha!
