    Trying to be helpful:
    32 ET K  water pump outlet to radiator has smaller outlet size than 33 ET series outlet.
    33 ET 8 cyl had 6 impeller vanes.
    34 & 35 pumps have some interesting variables, carbon seals, lube pressure mechanisms, pulleys.
    Other variations may exist, but these are from my experience, and in my possession.

    I have seen seen Chevrolet water pumps with pulleys that seemed identical to 32/33 pulleys.

    I wonder how many vendors produced these? There seems to be many variations. My pump from a 33 T8 had a three vane impeller, but I can't say that it is original to the engine. Others have told me same the 33 8s had a three vane, but later models had more. The same pump had a steel pulley, but I also have Aluminum pulleys that match. I have two identical cast aluminum pulleys with the same part number, but different size shaft bores. One is correct for my original pump shaft and one is way too small. I suppose there are many small details that make components non interchangeable, but the complete assembly would be. Part of the fun, a new mystery with every part ...

    Got a new impeller, CNC'd from the original 3 blade. I would like to make a 5 blade and do some flow testing, in my spare time :)

    Interesting article on 3D printing as part of reproducing a water pump casing & impeller
