C3 Water Pump Fitting/Nipple

[Pat K.]

Can anybody tell me if this is the correct water pump fitting/nipple for my ’69 BB with AC?

I checked the AIM, Bizzoco's book, and Dobbin's Fact book and I can't find a pic of the fitting.

Pat:

This will not answer your question directly, but that fitting looks identical to the one on my car (1968 L36 w/o A/C).

Henry - the water pump I have on my car now is not the one it came off the line with. But it is the correct part number, and may have come from a non-AC car. '68 and '69 used the same part number for BB.

Now I need to find out if BB AC cars used a different nipple.

Thanks,

Pat

If so, it should show it in the C60 section of the AIM.

Pat,
That's strange, I see 2 hex nuts in your picture. Mine has only one hex nut for the nipple and doesn't extend as far out as yours. See if this picture helps...
