What a shame about the tin worm. I'll bet that car with that color scheme was a real eye-popper back in the day.

Well the 1963 Pontiac Tempest could be had in the colour with IRS and Positraction.

Two yoots.

Water pump replacement -

Visible on the old pump is a trail of ooze running out of the weep hole. I could also feel a little looseness in the shaft.

The first pump I got was the wrong one, it was for a A/C equipped Cutlass which is 1/4 inch longer. This prevents the pulleys from lining up.

Reassembled with the correct pump -

While starting the engine to check for leaks I noticed the harmonic balancer has developed a wobble so add that to the list.

Nice to see this progressing. Keep it up!

And I hate it when you replace one part, only to find another, and another... Such is life.
