29 Radiator Removal

Posted by Paul_K On 2011/5/22 13:50:18

Looks like it's time to rebuild the water pump. The pump shaft has about 3/16" end play and the Chevy rear main seal I used for packing wasn't the best idea but it did last a few years.

Several questions I have: Can I remove the radiator and shell as a unit? Two: Who is a reliable rebuilder of Packard water pumps? Who makes quality gaskets for the 388 Engines?

And yes, I am going to pull the water jacket.
