Replaced the leaky original with a Country brand one made in India, and =
all seems well. Visually similar to original. With rad cap off to =
burp the system, I can see good speed of coolant circulation. Original =
was StanPart/RHP. Thin layer of Permatex Ultimate Gray on both sides of =
paper gasket. A good technique for the tight space was to offer the =
nut up to the stud with an extendable magnetic pickup and then get the =
first few threads with a screwdriver on the side of the nut. I had a =
hard time finding an original dimension stud so ended up cutting a =
longer one down on the bench grinder and using a coarse thread nut on =
the pump side.
Agree that a modern 5 vane curved impeller is more effective. =
Understand The Flying Dutchman adds this on a pump overhaul. Wonder =
what he uses.
A friend has access to a press and we might try to rebuild the original. =
I'm told you can likely match the bearing and seal if you bring the =
old ones=20
into a bearing supplier.
I'm not completely taken with the durability of the green replica rubber =
hoses. Used a new Gates brand hose for bottom rad hoses. The parts =
guy at a better automotive supplier went out back and found a hose that =
matched the curve and diameter. Cut it into the two needed lengths.
