[W126 Coupe] need recommendation

[Jay Hirsch]

Jonathan

Sorry, did not know that

Would avoid buying anything made in China.

either they use old, tired, molds or dyes or  make ones ones which "lack" a little intergrity.
or
have existing one rebuilt.

I have a few Caddy's  1959/1960.  There "new" water pumps for these now, made  "over there"

Know two people who used them.  The pumps  are exactly like the original  pumps,  and will leave it there
Pumps that I cannot buy new, made in North America   or Europe  I have rebuilt  by a shop  in Long Island,  forty miles from my place

Importec would tell you where pump was made though
