Re: 1937 water pump removal

I lifted the motor less then 1/4" to get the socket on the bolt. I still couldn't get the socket on the top right bolt. Not Packard's fault if indeed this is not their pump. I see no numbers on the pump after quick look. The motor number is 37 138CD correct according to info on this website.

There is probably all kinds of stuff wrong on this car, but I certainly won't blame myself because what I'm doing is trying to fix it and I'm doing the best I can. I don't really care who is to blame for sagging motor mounts.... It was simply a rant. But I know it wasn't me cause I didn't put them there and i didn't neglect them for decades.

I was simply ranting cause I was struggling with what to me should have been a very simple task on a car that was built well before technology that I find to be simple. A response was given and was a great bit of advice and was productive. No judgement... Just a simply answer and obvious acknowledgement of my frustration. I went back out and completed the task. End of story. To me what you posted wasn't productive other then identification of the pump.

I know you try to help.

Anyways..... Moving on.
