Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Well, two steps forward one step back. I went to put the heater hose fitting into the water pump and got it about a 1/2 inch in and something hit the floor. It was a little piece of the casting around the hole. It has a thicker side and a smaller side.It looks like they got it too thin and when I started it couldn't take the pressure. 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.

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.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Yeah just make sure it looks like the rusty one with a thick wall around the hole. I didn't even look at it before all this.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
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.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
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.

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

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
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.
