water pump acting up... short or long pump??

I got some problems with my water pump last night and went on summit to check around at pumps... seems there is a short pump and a long pump?

How do I check to see which one I have? Don't want to order the wrong one.

Thanks for the help! Its a 454 ci.

Also any recommendations on a good pump??

I really like Edelbrock's aluminum water pumps.
They helped me cure a "hot running truck" years ago,... and I will now use them, exclusively.

Very easy,... and very messy.
No matter how hard you try,... you will have anti-freeze on the ground.
Take your time and just remove and replace.

And remember the trucks with a serpentine belt drive set-up, usually run a reverse rotation water pump.
I couldn't remember what you have for your accessory drive.

When I change water pumps I usually replace the thermostat and check the hoses real good.

If you change the thermostat drill an 1/8" hole it, it will allow the thermostat to open easier because the pressure will be equal on both sides.
