Valt posted:To keep up on this thread what I found out was that the water pump was leaking out of its shaft. This is apparently somewhat common with these older water pumps. So I took the pump off and replaced it and while I was doing that I replaced the belt and flushed the radiator. When I put everything back together it started to overheat even while driving. So I removed the thermostat just to see if that would do anything. After removing the thermostat it runs just fine! Could have trapped an air bubble in the system that you relieved when you removed the thermostat. I doubt it would have failed exactly at the same time as you had the system open, unless maybe it got jammed up from crud that you flushed out of the radiator. Looks good low, I'd even go a little farther in the front. Looks like it's maybe half an inch higher in front?
