1965 289 water pump question (aluminum pump)

<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font size=-1>Quote:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT SIZE=-1><BLOCKQUOTE>
Now, One more ?. Is there a difference between an iron pump timing cover and a aluminum pump timing cover?
</BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR></TD></TR></TABLE>

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe the timing cover used with the aluminum pump has water passages that are contoured for the flow path. The timing cover used with iron pumps used simple round holes that meet up with the opening in the steel backing plate on the pump.
