Thanks guys!
I ran it again last night and I'm "pretty" sure the water pump is bad. Something in the front of the engine is grinding really bad. I've changed enough water pumps to know that it's probably bad by the sound of it, but maybe, besides leaking, is there any other way to find out for sure? A new one for the 228 is $150, so I'd like to be sure. It sure idled nicely last night. I got the carb adjusted a little better, fixed the valve cover leak, and tightened down the radiator hoses a little better.
I actually sat in the cab while it was running and went thru the gears a bit. Good to know the clutch is working and everything is turning properly. The brakes work too even though they still need some bleeding. I don't have the wheels on it and it's up on jack stands.
Oh, and I got the new gas tank in. I POR-15'd it and it looks beautiful. All new fittings and hoses to it as well. One more thing crossed off the list.
Thanks again for the comments,
