GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE study these instructions carefully before installing your new water pump. If you have any questions or
problems, do not hesitate to contact our Technical Hotline at: (310) 782-2900.
• DESCRIPTION
This Edelbrock aluminum water pump is a reverse rotation heavy duty water pump for both street and racing
applications. It is externally the same as original equipment pumps designed for the applications listed below,
but MUST BE USED WITH REVERSE ROTATION SERPENTINE BELT PULLEYS. This pump is ideal
for street rods with aftermarket serpentine belt pulleys. It offers weight savings along with increased durability
and cooling potential. An additional feature is the threaded tab for a cam stop that can be used to pre-load the
front cover and limit camshaft forward thrust.
• APPLICATIONS
#8882 is a short leg pump for 1955-’68 passenger cars, light duty trucks, and 1969-’70 Corvettes with
aftermarket serpentine belt pulleys (reverse rotation). Polished Aluminum Water Pump #8892 fits the same
applications as #8882.
• ACCESSORIES
Use #8830 Spacer Kit for short style pumps to clear competition camshaft gear drives and belt drives. Kit
includes 1/2" thick water pump and crank pulley spacers.

• INSTALLATION
Installation is the same as for original equipment
water pumps, except that aftermarket reverse rotation
serpentine belt pulleys MUST be used. Consult ser-
vice manual for specific procedures, if necessary.
CAUTION: Be sure that fan bolts don't protrude
through the hub so far that they hit the water pump
housing.
NOTE: Removal of backing plate is not recommend-
ed, as there are no user serviceable parts in the water
pump. If backing plate is removed, use no sealer on
O-ring equipped models, and use conventional gasket
sealer (not RTV silicone) on gasketed models.
