Not sure who's water pump they start with, but they certainly grind some of the numbers off.

The business side of the water pump. Note the nice backing plate already installed on the impeller. This saves me the grief of trying to weld or rivet one on myself. Note also how the rivets are recessed.

While we're at the backing plate, let's see what kind of clearance it has. The paperwork with the pump said you may need to use two gaskets in order to properly clear the front cover. If you look closely at the left end of the steel rule, you'll see an

Not sure if this photo is better. I tried to provide some back lighting to help illustrate the gap.

This shows the path of the bypass port. With the thermostat closed, water does not exit out the top, instead, it gets routed down the smaller hole in the restrictor plate orifice where it exits the front cover as shown. At the water pump, this location
