[The Art Doctor]

I have developed a whining, occasionally dripping and grease flinging drivers side water pump. Just to make sure I'm not missing it; there is no drain on the radiator despite the hole and channel below it in the sheet metal, just two petcocks in the block near the lower mounts, correct?


I have a single extra NOS pump I got out if the classifieds a while back. I filled it up with fresh water pump grease, and painted it so its ready to go for a change out on Sunday. Its the later style with the port for a temperature sender that I intend to use to add a gauge, eventually. Last time out she ran 175* measured on the heads with the laser on an 82* day after 55 minutes to go 35 miles of surface street driving with red lights and traffic as usual.
