Leakless water pump weep hole

I installed a "leakless" water pump on my '30 Coupe. It has less than two hours running time on it and leaks from a weep hole located on the mounting flange.
Anyone else experience this?

30 Coupe running too rich

I have a rebuilt carb on my car and I'm running much too rich.

Re: using a 12 volt system with the 6 volt horn

After two resistors and much frustration I finally just rewound the field coils with 24 ga. wire. 100 wraps and now my horn operates as it should.

Re: using a 12 volt system with the 6 volt horn

Thanks for all of the advise. I believe I may have a bad resistor. The horn operates as it should connected to a 6v battery.

The resistor I bought was from Mac's and "Restorer" was the name on the instructions supplied. I've seen it available from several different vendors. The horn is good and operates great using a 6v...

Re: using a 12 volt system with the 6 volt horn

I saw the same in the ford mechanics handbook. The resister I have is called the "restorer" and when hooking it to the circuit, my horn just moans once. It does the same when hooked to a 12v power...
