I have been chasing down an overheating problem for awhile now and had a question about something I remembered. When I purchased the water pump (a weiand counter-clockwise) I remember the stock gasket not fitting properly and I had to hunt down the right gasket. I snagged this picture as an example. It fits perfectly on the timing cover so I am wondering how bad this would restrict the flow of the pump. I wouldn't think it would restrict it that much, but who knows...the plate on the Weiand pump is very restricted as well. About a 3/4" hole max as opposed to the stock ovalish shaped holes.
And yes, I have the plate on the pump, this picture is just a reference.
It's a 1990 mustang too. Looking into trying a stock water pump this evening
