Use all stock AC-Delco parts. No need for aftermarket crap that will probably blow on you. Go down to the local parts store/rockauto/etc and grab all the OE parts you need, and make sure to use AC-Delco. Its not the "highest performance" parts, but they will be reliable and are almost guaranteed to work. You will be happy.

^^His signature lol. Aftermarket high performance stuff is only needed if everything else is aftermarket too. I tried putting an accel super coil on my old Dodge and all it did was kill my gas mileage and eventually blow up. Same vehicle, I tried fancy platinum plugs and ugh, that thing ran like crap. Popped the $1 OE champion coppers back in and wow, it was like a new truck. Lesson: Stock is used by the OE for a reason. Engineers that get paid a HELL of a lot more than you or I do years of research and design to get these things right, so lets trust them!

I've had great luck with Accel products, just NOT their caps or rotors. But in most cases, ACDelco for everything! You can substitute plugs/wires with Accel if you want, they last every bit as long as ACDelco stuff. And NAPA blue plug wires are really good too.

Um, why Autolite plugs?

Stock replacement water pumps do just fine. There's several electric fan threads around here too.

GM designed things well back in the day. It's not flow one should be concerned about... only heat transfer. That's what really matters
