SKP SK1301350 Engine Water Pump

Engine Water Pump Overview

SKP SK1301350 is an engine water pump for classic Chevrolet and GMC applications, including Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet C10 Pickup, and GMC Jimmy coverage. It circulates coolant through the engine block and radiator to help maintain stable operating temperature.

Key Features

• Precision-engineered water pump built to meet or exceed OE specifications.
• High-quality materials for dependable cooling-system service.
• Supports efficient coolant circulation to help control engine temperature.
• Fits a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans, and passenger cars.
• Cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Detailed Description

The SK1301350 water pump is a direct cooling-system replacement for many 1955-1972 Chevrolet and GMC vehicles, plus select Studebaker models. It is engineered for consistent coolant flow, which is critical on older engines that rely on a properly functioning pump to move heat away from the block and radiator. This part number, SK1301350, is used across applications such as Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Bel Air, and GMC Jimmy fitments.

SKP manufactures this engine water pump with OE-level dimensional accuracy and tested performance standards. That makes it a practical choice when replacing a worn pump on a Chevrolet C10 Pickup, Chevrolet Camaro, or GMC P25/P2500 Van, especially when cooling performance has become inconsistent.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine overheating caused by reduced coolant circulation.
• Coolant leaks from a worn water pump assembly.
• Temperature swings from an inefficient pump impeller or bearing wear.
• Cooling-system strain in older Chevrolet and GMC engines.
• Poor heat transfer between the engine block and radiator.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application and pump style before ordering, especially on 1972 short-pump van applications listed in the fitment data. Inspect the cooling system, hoses, thermostat, and belt condition during replacement so the new pump can operate correctly. Confirm gasket surface condition and torque fasteners to the vehicle service specification.

Quality Assurance

SKP states that this water pump is tested to meet or exceed OE specifications for fit and performance. The SK1301350 is built for reliable cooling-system service across classic Chevrolet and GMC applications.
