I got one from zims and it's been just fine.

Zims

Zims is good to deal with, the price is really good, and the pump I got looked like a a good quality re-manufactured pump

Does anybody have a source for the DIY parts? I used to have one but they disappeared.

Chris,
I don't know if I understand what you are saying, but I go to NAPA for all my parts and I am a DIY'er.
If you have a problem with their price they will always (if apples to apples) match price.
It is surprising how much they carry for our cars.

I believe Chris is talking about assembling the parts to rebuild the WP rather than buy a reman WP.

Zims is a good company, so I'm not surprised. I've done many thousands of dollars w/ Paragon, so I just go to those guys. They have always treated me fantastically. I like to reward that with continued business. If they didn't have it, I'd sure go to Zims.

Yeah right, thx man!
By the way, I also saw the engine seal kit avaliable in Zims in 16 pcs parts, do you think its the same thing as Paragon?

I have no idea. I've never tried to rebuild one, so I've never looked into the parts. To me it's just easier to by a reman and put it in. If I were in the engine building business, it might make a lot of sense to do my own.
BTW, Van, here on RL, has a fantastic youtube video series showing you EXACTLY how to change the WP and belts. I highly recommend it!
It's an easy job that anyone can do.
