Hi everyone,
I have a question about water pump grease. I have read many different things on it and am looking for the best option. I am not necessarily looking for what was used in '35 because I'm sure there have been improvements since then. I have read about low temp grease that melts so if it gets into the radiator it won't clog the tubes. I have read about paraffin based greased that stays put. I have read about marine grease because it is always under water and it is durable. Looking for some opinions. Thanks.

Lubriplate #115 is what I used on my original style water pump. I have now changed out the pump to the sealed bearing replacement from the Filling Station.

Seal bearing water pump for a 1936 chevy 207 engine, I did not see it on the website?
I pulling the engine out so it is a good time to place the water pump, what do you recommend for replacement.

My car is a 32. I am not aware of a sealed pump for the 1936 207. The Filling Station is presently out so you may have to do some searching . Perhaps other members with a 36 may have experience with rebuilders who can repair your pump or suggest a source to purchase.
