Thanks JW and Howard, been a rough week my mother passed away last Sunday, had the funeral Friday, 96 years old. Had a good life and was taking care of her sister who had just passed away earlier this year, she was 103 I think. They were living together until last summer when my mom just couldn't handle her any more. O'well that's a long story, moving on with the Packard.

Working on the water pump, flushed the system out real good. Noticed water coming out of two of the bolt holes, the other two holes dry. Looking at the bolts two look the same and the other two were both different but they all looked to be about the same length. Installed the copper washer on the two bolts where the water was coming out and also put Shellac the the ends of those two bolts only. Put on new hoses and clamps, had to trim the hose from the head to the radiator, it was too long and installed a new fan belt (All parts from Max Merritt). Added distilled water and a bottle on Water Wetter. Started it up, ran for a while. So far didn't see any leaks, I'll check again later.
