My new water pump has about 2 hours running time on it and sounds like bowling balls in a cement mixer. I have contacted the rebuilder and will return it but our club has it's Spring Dust-off this weekend & I am determined to see it will make the 120 mile round trip. Hey, there is always AAA but the show must go on!
There is a big lean bog in the carb & at this point, I suspect the fuel pump. A Ford Y block sourced pump is on the way & I will try a pump with the combo Vacuum pump to power my wipers as I have the Melling oil pump conversion- any experience out there with this solution?
Wish me luck!
