Should not be a difference between plants since the water pump was installed at the engine plant not the car plant  ;)

Is it a possibility that the -A pump was initially used on the late-67 produced 289 engines (the ones using the 302 blocks)?

These late-67 289 engines used different timing covers, different thermostat housings, different lots of items on the front of the blocks.
