closer9 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well, I got the heater bypassed, and a new water pump installed. Then found the brakes are almost non existent, 'nother project there... Also, found the throttle linkage is sticking somewhere, and that's why it was idling so fast. Didn't feel like messing with the brakes, so just let it idle for a while to see if it would get hot, etc... Walked across the shop to talk to my friend's dad and after about 10 minutes we were interupted by a rather loud smokey boom... Radiator hose popped off the water pump... I told myself not to reuse the original wire style clamp, but... Gonna replace it with a worm screw clamp, and try again. Don't think anything was really hurt, just the clamp wasn't tight enough. So, I'll try bleeding the brakes one of these days, then I should be able to bring her home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
