I'd check the pump which is on the car now. Since you are so close, why not send the cracked pump housing to Frank to see if it can be stitched ?
Mike, since the spare pump rebuild was a convenience idea to simply make the swap quicker, rebuilding the exsisting pump is probably what we will do unless I find another decent pump housing. I've never paid attention so I don't know if they are unobtainable?

The seals in the picture where in the box with the old pump, I didn't take the rest of the stuff out of new kit but will go check and give what you are suggesting a try!
Also, I seem to recall there is some machine work that is necessary to make the new shaft and impeller work? There were no instructions with the kit, so maybe I'm imagining that.

The other key to rebuilding the water pump is making sure the seal surfaces are lapped in properly. It looks like you have the modern cartridge seals. Did you also get the ceramic seats? If so make sure they are installed 90 degrees to the shaft.

One person said the car ran cooler after installing the kit. I am looking forward to installing one to find out.
