OK, so I need a water pump...

...but looking in the Sierra catalog, they list 3 different ones that look like mine. Which one do I need? Don't ask for a serial #, the drive don't have one. It is an Alpha Gen 1. Looking at the parts list, the only thing different between them is the base part #.

18-3217 if the housings are OK
18-3517 if only the upper housing and impeller needs replacing
18-3320 if it needs everything
be carefull to match the gaskets and orings to what came off, they put enough stuff in teh kit to do about 50 years worth of modles, and its easy to install teh wrong stuff, you will not need everthing in the kit

GOOD NEWS! I found a water pump for $33.00 on line and only $6.40 for shipping. She's on her way. The bad news, it's coming from Jersey. Dang snow. :(
