Well, I think I'm narrowing down my cooling problems.

The sensor that's mounted on my radiator isn't transmitting a darn thing,
so, no fan, which means, overheating. Tested with a voltimeter. Anyone now
which parts houses carry these? VB doesn't carry it.

But the really annoying part is the water pump itself. It has a brand new
gasket on it, and she's put on real tight. The thing is, that machined hole
at the bottom of the pump likes to leak, a lot. It was dripping for quite a
while after a smll test run, but otherwise the car's dry. Is the pump
supposed to be mounted with the hole pointing downward? Or do I simply have
it on wrong where it's supposed to be pointing semi-upward? I'm confused.
