Still toiling away on this little car...
Took some time to work with the steering rack. I worked some 90wt gear
oil in there, and it is definitely loosened up quite a bit. ran it back
and forth a while, and it's pretty smooth now. Got boots on, and have
about 4 oz of 90wt in there now. How much should be in there? I looked
in my books, but was unable to find that info...
Since it's all apart, radiator out and all, it's getting a new belt and
hoses, thermostat, etc. While removing the belt, we noticed there was a
_lot_ of slop in the water pump shaft, so I pulled it out for
replacement. Looks like an aluminum housing with a rubber impeller, so
sure thats not original. Are there any cast iron replacement pumps out
there?
If I hadn't pulled the pump, I would never have noticed the little 3
inch long hose from the bottom of the head to the pump. It was a really
nasty old piece too! What size hose is that? And is it the same as to
the heater core?
