Paul,
It appears that the new Renesis water pump housing has a lower profile >than the 13B or 20B.  Also, the flow exits on the side rather on top.  Does >anyone on the list know if will fit on a 13b or 20b?
On a slightly different note... I compared the 13b water pump impeller >with my 20b impeller.  The 20b is the same height but about 1/8" larger diameter. > It appears that the 20b impeller could be installed on the 13b housing assy >with minor modificaitons.  This may help some 13b people to increase pump gpm.  (I'm >making the assumption that larger diameter equals more flow).  Just a thought.

Is there a difference in the 2nd and 3rd generation water pump housings.  The reason I ask is that I have a spare 2nd gen housing and also a 20b housing (which I may not be able to use due to it being taller).  The 20b pump won't bolt up to the 2nd gen housing, but if a 3rd gen pump will mate up I can use that combination.  Otherwise, I may have to replace both the pump and housing with 3rd generation parts.  Anyone have a spare 3rd generation water pump housing they're willing to part with?
