So I returned that other paint and opted for high heat stuff. The duplicolor line had options for Ford blues!
Old Ford Blue
Ford Blue
Dark Ford Blue

I went with Old Ford Blue.

Priming

And I apparently didn't take photos of the finished pump. I'll do that.
Just waiting on the rain to quit for the install..

Depending on how it goes I may hit you up Tom!

Does anyone remove the pulley from the water pump before taking off the pump?
I ask because my limited tools down here arent able to access one of the bolts on the pump. The pulley interferes.
hoses, clamps, shroud, fan are all off.

Hoping at work I can borrow one of our test pieces. I just need a longer 10mm wrench. or some fancier extensions and swivels. lol

Sounds like you're in the thick of it. Don't forget to take some pictures with the before on the engine before you the pulley/fan back on, please.

There are two heater hoses attached to my heater. The one that is on the drivers side is the flow into the heater correct?

I think you are correct. Its the one that comes off the head, not the water pump. If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

I will check tomorrow but I believe the drivers side hoses goes to top of water pump and other one goes under passenger side head to just above block.

OK.... you're correct again. I was wrong. I took a break and got back in the search. finally found a couple of pictures with the flow direction marked. The drivers side hose going to the water pump is a return line... the passenger side is the flow into the heater core. Thanks. Just had to talk to someone to help me get going in the right direction ...lol. Thanks again
