This is an image I’ve found somewhere about these GMB cast impellers. Just looking at the fin direction…. It’s opposite to my original one???
Bottom image is my original one.
I checked another GMB water pump with a cast impeller and made note of the vane orientation - See first photo
From the small sample of GMB pumps I have seen (including Gene's) it seems cast impellers these days all have this style of impeller, which is the different to the OEM "backward curving" impeller.
I did write to GMB some time ago on this change from from OEM but never got a response.....
And FYI - in the discussion above, the photo of the impeller with 8 blades is mine and has been installed in my car for some years now. No issues to date and I would go as far to say the 8 vane impeller is actually superior in keeping the engine temp down compared to the previously installed 6 vane.
The last photo shows some of the impellors available for BBMopars and something I researched when purchasing a replacement. These were all tested back to back (by others) and to no surprise there was a big difference in performance!.
