water pump question
JST69Z28:
The water pump on my 69 Z28 just started to leak at the shaft seal (photo attached). I have owned the car since 1982 and never replaced it. I have reviewed most of the messages from team members, but still looking for advice on 2 questions:
1. What is a J48 code? Most of the others I see have 3 numbers after the letter.
2. If original, should I rebuild it and what's the best way get that done?
Thank you for all the great info on this site.

J48 equals Month, day, year

J 4 8 ..... I believe that's November 4th, 1968. If not accurate, someone will correct me.
David K:
Definitely have it rebuilt or replace it and put it to the side. Replacing it is quicker.
I’ve never used their service, but they rebuild.

According to CRG, the water pump used on the 1969 302 engine was the same as used on other small blocks for 1969:
