    Yeah-- search under mustang fan sites.
    This looks like this, but you might need 2-3 of them to make the full set:

    Myself, my old ones seemed OK. Just clean up thoroughly on a wire wheel bench grinder, and reinstall with antiseize!!

      The iron ones if you look under like 1986 or 1988 on rockauto-- same engine, it all works.
      ACTUALLY now that I remember-- the alternator bracket iirc runs into the larger iron pump. You need about 10 minutes on a bench grinder to remove the little bit of excess metal. So have one handy... or just get the regular aluminum one. I don't know that it makes much difference.

      You can tell which ones need sealant-- just look. Part of the timing cover overhangs out from the main engine block, and obviously has no space for a water passage. The rest go into water passages. Or just put sealant on all of them-- no harm, right? But I'm not sure that I ever needed sealant on my bolts. It's not leaking... I felt more comfortable with antiseize on the threads for future work!

          I bought a set from Rock Auto for $12 when I did my car. Can't seem to find them anymore, though.

            Got the WP replaced last weekend. New update (GRR....dammit). It looks like the area between the WP plate and the water pump itself might be leaking. There are two ~5/8 bolts at the bottom that hold this on. I read where someone took this apart and even though you shouldn't have to - applied some Permatex sealant to both surfaces too. I remember doing this back twenty years ago on Dad's 83 CV. Didn't do it this time though...

                Of all the ignorant-ass things to have to remember. I did everything right on my end, but the damn assemblers for the WP in China didn't. Well, I probably should admit that I didn't do everything I could have on my end. But I do remember thinking in the back of my mind that that could be trouble. SHIT!

                  yeah I had that gasket blow out and overheat the engine once. Cost me the TFI the next day.

                    do folks here just disassemble, goop it up, then reassemble? I guess the WP itself is fine, though i could probably take it back to Advance and get a new clean one...

                      yes. And I do it before putting it on the car. I always goop all gaskets on waterpumps.
