Any body find a good source and good price for a water pump for a 53 TD?
Or should I just get to Moss? I'm in sunny Florida, north of Tampa. Mine
packed in about 8 miles from home coming back from the Palm Coast GOF
today. It was caught right away from a friend right behind who noticed
the antifreeze coming out. . Temp never even rose to tip me off there
was a prob. brewing. Glad I had my tow line and glad my wife took the
Frontier Crew Cab with parts I had to sell. She amazed me by her first
successful towing of an MG. Slow on the starts, easy on the braking and
it's in the garage. I know it was telling me that it's her time for some
TLC. The start to this 150 mile trip wasn't the best, either. Some OF
forgot to put his one off aluminum billet machined oil cap back in and
went off for gasoline. Then when same OF arrived at the departure point
to caravan over, he complained about some jerk he was behind burning oil
and smelling up the air. He went to get a friend a pliers from the
engine tool bin and discovered oil everywhere!.
Quick fix was an MGB plastic one that was a tight fit in. Should have
realized something more sinister was afoot. But the good news is she's
home and fixable,
