Runs cool.

But still have the dry bearing sound

Really don't think it's the power steering pump.

I'm leaning to the speedometer..
The needle has been hanging up.

Man that might be a dash pull. To do it right. Will try the spray lube first.

And on to the waterpump bearing the have is longer. So the pump bolts show.
But I'm still an inch plus from radiator

It throws off the alternator. So I will have to Mill the slot longer. Maybe both.

Webmaster

Just reach up and disconnect the speedo cable, then you'll know.

Also, you can probably pull the cable down and pull out the core to lube it without touching anything in the dash.

Well that wasn't the problem.

Only thing left is power steering pump.

Most of the time you can pull the belt and spin the various accessories and feel a bad bearing, that tell you anything?

Been thinking..

I'm now thinking another dampner came un vulcanized. If so that sucks.

Radiator pulling. But I will fix the gap. If that's is the case..

I do have a stack from Denver.

But, might as well get the original redone. . Should of .but didn't.

Have to find that place that vulcanize,s..
