I couldn't believe it, it wasn't even getting tight. Just my luck I guess. I'll take the pump off and see if I can get a refund. I posted a pic of the old pump and you can see the difference in the holes edges thickness. Check this if you guys buy a pump.

Hey Chuck,

If the old one is the one that I had on it, it is brand new. The water pump failed on the drive back from Colorado and so I had to replace it. Less than 2000 miles.

**thelonerife** · 02-07-2011, 09:17 PM

Thanks Drew. I remembered that you had replaced it but didn't know how many miles it had on it. I wire brushed it a little and the surface rust came off easy. So I figured it must not have been that old. I put the fitting back in and painted it. Put it on too. Just need to touch up some paint and its done. I put my balancer on the shaft and it looks like the timing tab is too far from the balancer. I'll have to do some research.

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 11:17 PM

well that is just pure luck! time to turn in the new one and get some money to dump in to the truck!

**thelonerife** · 02-10-2011, 12:04 AM

Well I learned that the original harmonic balancer was an 8''. I got a 6 3/4''. So when I put it up to the shaft the tab was farther away from the balancer than I wanted. I ordered a tab for 6 3/4''. I got the advice from some members here in the engine and drivetrain section.

**thelonerife** · 02-11-2011, 07:22 PM

Took the bad cast water pump back today and got my money back no problem.

67chevy1series · 02-11-2011, 07:32 PM

good to know every thing went smoothly!

VA72C10 · 02-11-2011, 10:17 PM

cool! Glad they didn't hassle you.

**thelonerife** · 02-11-2011, 10:54 PM

Me too. They were pretty cool about it. The guy just looked at it and said it was a bad cast.

67chevy1series · 02-23-2011, 01:27 AM

**thelonerife** · 02-24-2011, 07:55 PM

I didn't have that one!!

**thelonerife** · 03-22-2011, 09:36 PM

Moving at a snails pace. But moving. I got the fuel line on. I Hooked up the gas pedal linkage. I got the Harmonic balancer and lower pulleys on. I also got an electronic dist. and some rear wheel wells. I got the parts off of the board. I haven't got the wells yet though. Their new Goodmark ones.

VA72C10 · 03-22-2011, 09:54 PM
