  Since most of them use the same pump it could be anything from 
a '75  through about '95 even, gas or diesel.  Just a matter of 
a water pump being rebuilt with a plastic impeller, which shouldn't 
be too bad unless it spins on the shaft or something gets in and 
chews it up.  The worst are the stamped steel ones.  The multi 
pronged impellers aren't so bad but never buy one with the bent 
down corners of a square version.  Someone or two here found 
those on  theira car.
