Your Cord looks like a birdcage convertible, does it feature a SC- engine with inside exhaust ? Or is it a pheaton / coupe convertible with a standard engine and inside exhaust ?
The more i know, the more i realize that i don't know enough.

You need to ask Bruce Earlin what we did to re-move his water pump at the Spring Meet at Rome, New York. What I told him two months earlier while he was doing a dealer rehab on a phaeton with cowl bracing I said you should rebuilt that pump before putting everything back on, his remark was "Don't need to fix something that's not broken". Need I say any more, however we did replace the pump in a parking lot on our Sat tour. Not easy but done. Henry has the process in a nut shell, But try to do this on RT 80 on the way to Auburn hot is not the word but a four letter word would do!

Procedure to Remove Water Pump from Supercharged Convertible with Dash to Radiator and Frame Brace Assembly:
1. Drain coolant, prop hood open, disconnect hood prop at bottom, fold, and wire to upper side screen.
2. Remove pin at rear of grille assembly to facilitate removal of three nuts at rear of each lower side screen. Remove remaining nuts and remove side screens.
3. Remove four 1/4-20 screws from each side that hold the grille. Place pads under each side of grille to protect paint on the fenders and slide grille forward about seven inches.
4. Remove the upper radiator tubes and hoses from the thermostat housings to the radiator.
5. Remove lower hose from radiator to pump. Remove the "S" tube and its forward hose as an assembly.
6. Remove the two hoses and water inlet elbows from the water pump to block as assemblies.
7. Remove the cap from the distributor and remove the distributor with its locking clamp as an assembly. It can be replaced without changing the timing if the clamp is tight.
8. Remove bolt holding radiator to frame brace assembly. Place a piece of sheet metal between radiator and nut on back of main shift cylinder. Pull top of radiator forward as much as possible and fasten to front bumper with rope. (IF there are springs on the T-bolts holding the radiator down as there should be , this will work). IF NOT you will have to loosen the radiator.
9. Remove fan assembly. Remove bolts holding water pump to flywheel housing. Loosen water pump drive pulley and belt as much as possible. Raise pump off locating dowels and tilt to rear to free from drive belt. Remove drive pulley. Remove pump from left side of car between wire loom and frame brace assembly.
10. Reverse procedure to install.
