What is the opinion of the group on whether to use an early MGB water
pump on an MGA engine in a race application? When running at Monticello
last week, just before my axle broke, I experienced significantly higher
running temperatures than I had ever seen before. I pegged the gauge.
Since I currently have the opportunity, I am changing the water pump and
thermostat. So, I want to know if there is any particular advantage in
running the 12 vane early MGB pump as opposed to the 6 vane MGA pump.
The engine is a 1622 with modest upgrades. I have not previously had
overheating issues. It was a VERY hot day, and the track is slower than
most that I run (more twisty) and very power-demanding.
