I've put in a new stock replacement pump. When I primed I held the driver on it longer and didn't feel it start to work, like it did the first time. The oil gauge went to 80# and held. I idled it for about 5 minutes while I set the timing. No blown gasket. [Smile]
I just finished cutting the top out of a valve cover to put on while I adjust the valves. Don't know that I'll be able to (or want to in this heat) till Thurs morn.

I don't own a vehicle that isn't old enough to drink.
