Subject: water pump Mkll
Lots of cooling info today, thanks, but more ? What is the best product to
disolve rust in the cooling system? The radiator doesn't appear to be plugged.
I purchased a water pump some time ago, but the pulley strikes the housing.
It has a casting # C80E-D, and is just over 5" pulley hub face to pump housing
plate. I modified a Ford pulley stamping #ElDE-8509-AA (it's just under 5"
dia.), & a 6 blade Ford fan stamping #CF-C9DE-A on the blades. The Rootes
manual lists 2 pumps a 5.15" for the 260, and a 5.43" for the 289. Is there
anything wrong with shimming the pulley out .028" to use my pump? The last ?-
I enameled my radiator yesterday before reading about the radiator paint.
Should I try to remove the paint while it's fresh? I have the stock shroud,
plan to block areas under radiator and by horns, fabricate an air dam, and
replace the 160 thermo. with a 180 degree unit in an effort to cool. Any
advice is appreciated. Thanks, Wes.
