Question Before I replace the IC pump question......

I'm new to superchargers and wondering if in fact my problem is with the IC pump which it sounds like it is - based on reading all the posts on the topic. Since coolant runs through the pump and I only assume it's the same as the engine coolant, does anyone think a coolant flush could at all help before I replace the pump or just do the pump first? I don't know the history of the car and the only thing I've done was the oil change. Thanks all- BTW: I'm looking at the Johnson CM30 pump. Lastly, are there plug compatible ends or must one cut and splice the old fashion way? Thanks,

Bob

Nice. I'm on the fence with ordering now or waiting for the connector. I like the plug and play- but also have a soldering iron on-hand.......

Does anyone know if the Johnson CM30 ordered through LET still needs to be spliced or do they offer it ready to plug in now?

I found some small electrical connections at Napa auto parts that fit better than the flat spade type. I felt they were a little to close together for my comfort. They had them in a big blue container behind the counter and not on the shelf.

Still will need to be spliced...they tried to create a connector but to manufactor would of been way to expensive so they scrapped that idea for now.
