I believe a 235 water pump would work since the Pontiac 261 and Chevy 235 are based on the same block.

and if you have the pump in hand don't mess with another pump, send it to be rebuilt, it's not expensive.

Especially, save the pulley - they are near impossible to find at a decent price.
Ray is correct, Chev 235 pump fits just fine on the 261.

You will need a 261 pump. Part number is different from a 235. These pumps come up on ebay once in a while. Check the casting number on your original pump and try and find one to match.
