Water pump housing for 1985 wagon

[Danthebiker]

I need to find a water pump housing, AKA a water outlet housing. I am not a super experienced mechanic so I am not exactly sure what it is called. I did some research and found it listed as either. It is the part that both the water pump and the thermostat housing bolt to. I was installing a new thermostat today and I went to tighten up the thermostat housing and the cast aluminum part that it bolts to snapped before the bolt tightened up. Please let me know where I can find one.

You can get a new one on Rockauto. I have one in my parts supply stash, I can’t vouch for its quality as I’ve never had to use it. But it’s just a chunk of cast aluminum so not too much to go wrong there… It’s like 15 bucks.

Engine Water Pump Housing is part #16100-1908677. Used on the 1984-1988 Tercel, it might take some salvage yard searching. Maybe a request on the FB page might turn one up. I think new ones contain unobtainium.
