They are offshore aftermarket kits but identical to the OEM kits in every way. I’ll check a housing for the bleeder hole against an OEM one later today. While I have one out, I’ll see if the country of origin is marked on the OEM box anywhere.
This style pump first came out on the 1977 six horse motors replacing the old style, large impeller pumps. Since the water pumps are basically the same going back to ’54, these pumps will fit any 5, 5.5, 6, and 7.5 horse J/E from ’54 to ’79.
