IIRC, there is a difference between water pumps for cars with and without A/C.

There is a difference. There is a lengthy thread that covers the differences. I purchased mine from a local supplier.

I certainly do remember. I found it at a vendor table in the Carlisle swap meet for $15.00. Of course, there was no gasket. I found another guy with a correct gasket who wanted $12.00 for it! WTF ?!?. Told the guy I was stranded on the show field and desperately needed the gasket. Finally, he relented and gave it to me for $5.00. You should be able to get a pump from RockAuto or NAPA pretty easy.

Booo on Rock auto.
FWIW I got the water pump for my Newport (383) at NAPA and it's fine.

Love your car! OP - Finding a local parts source...usually NAPA in my area, can help. That pump is common and if you find an old Mopar guy behind the counter it will pay off.
I'll just take it to my local Napa. Thankfully all the guys I've seen working there are older gentlemen so hopefully they can check it out and order it right away! As of right now though I'm low on funds so it's more bodywork this week. It's got a decent amount of surface rust so I'm going to get it down to bare metal and get it primered. I will have to fix two very small rust holes that are bb sized but I'll fix that when I do the main paint job. I just want the current rust gone. So long ugly Burgundy color..

I own one of these and have for 12 years. Don't waste your time rebuilding a used carb someone offers. Go get yourself a new Edelbrock 600 CFM AFB with electric choke. Get the adapter for the fuel line fitting. Your stock air cleaner will fit. It is plug and play. Bolt it on and don't look back. Make sure your kickdown linkage/TV rod is properly connected to avoid burning up the transmission. Once you have it in good mechanical condition you can start working on the front end. These need a lot of work. I've put 45,000 miles on mine since I bought it. I have 9 old cars. This is my go to car

Carb’s already taken care of by one of the best.
I agree it's better than I could have ever imagined! It's a great carb. I got it in and it was like new!

I use to feel indifferent towards my Burgundy New Yorker. Mainly because I have 6 cars, and 4 of them are red. I don’t even like red! But slowly the burgundy grew on me and I see it as such an elegant/classy color. What you need to do is give it a deep and thorough buff to bring that color out!
In my opinion, a New Yorker only belongs in a few conservative colors.
Burgundy, Black, Silver, Dark Blue, etc.

Now this is a car that's screaming for a set of white walls.
