I hope to get the new water pump today. I went to ACE Hardware yesterday and as I expected they don't have a spring that size. Looks like I'll have to get the universal hose if my formed hose sucks down. I have checked the block, head and radiator for crud and blockedge, its clean. I will let you as soon as I get the pump on. There isn't any internet at my house. I live in southern California and I can't get DSL at my house! That is why it sometimes looks like I ignore all your advise. I ask for help at the end of one day and try something at home that night. When I come in the next day and check stovebolt, you say bebore you do this try that, but it is already to late.
thank for trying to help Chuck 49
