Re: 1936 Water Pump swap out?? 2 other questions as well

I replaced the water pump on my 115C when it first became mine. This was probably not needed as tightening the packing nut would have stopped the leak. I have had no problem with leaks with the rebuilt pump since replacing it four years ago. I keep the two oil cups full and from time to time tighten the pack nut a notch.

I have heard of using the later water pumps on the '35-'37 120s and sixes. I believe an additional hole must be drilled and tapped to mount the later type pump. This is probably an unnecessary improvement.
