Tom, thanks your offer on the pump core I'm hoping to reuse my core. And everyone "Thank You" I'm going to remove my water pump Thursday, hoping for a clean removal with no problems. If I'm lucky...

 

Good luck getting your wrinkles ironed out. The guys that jump in to help everyone on this site is just unbelievable. They have sure helped me and my grandson Austin. Austin also is autistic and he was born deaf, he does have a cochlear implant. You guys have a leg up on us our truck was disassembled. We have the chassis and running gear about 99% complete. Ready to start some body panels. If your grandson is like mine he watches every move I make to be certain everything is proper.

 

NAPA sent mine out and had it rebuilt. I don't know where they had it done but it was documented with photo's. Don't remember the cost but it wasn't overly expensive

 

Could not wait till Thursday, Woke up 4am to pull those four bolts!!! Water pump off in box!

 

Hey RMP,
Welcome Aboard! Did you mention that you had a motorcycle with a side car?
That would be horrible if you accidently posted a pic....

Very nice bike!

 

Water pump is back and on the truck tonight I put the intake and exhaust manifold back on the carb... AND DRIVE!!!
Question tacky gasket sealer on new manifold gaskets? yes/no

 

Putting carb back on previous owner had 4 gaskets under carburetor any reason to shim a carburetor with that many gaskets?

 

I think the carb needs to be spaced fairly high off the manifold. I know mine was using several gaskets.

And the parts book shows B6A 9447-B as the gasket with a quantity of 6.

 

Thanks sir I didn't tighten nuts I'll put them back on in same order it came off

 

Rebuilt pump a bleeder cwap, cwaap cwaaap!

 

Oops! That didn't turn so good...

 

Still have a core if you need it.

 

Well from eye ball it looks like just a fine thread. Not a machine thread so I'm going to go on a limb and say 3/8NPT. I'm not giving up $110 invested into this one. As soon as I broke it I instantly thought of your core I thank you truly if need be, I can swap my rebuilt parts into that core.... So I'll type out the part wire wheel inspected thread and come to a determination.
