Looks like it's getting a water pump too.

The weep hole? It's weeping. Thankfully, it's about the easiest car on Earth to do a WP in.

I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Hard to find parts for that motor?

$34 for a new water pump.

I'll probably send the original out to be rebuilt, to keep with the car.

With shipping and tax, $37.56 to my door.

I love old Chevys. Should take all of an hour to do...carefully.

Can't wait to drive her again. She had apparently been stored awhile, and the carb was flat-spotting just a bit at first, but I've put about a tankful through it... with a little SeaFoam, and some Marvel Mystery Oil...and she was running nearly perfect by this afternoon.

The one with the hooker sidepipes sounds more evil. This is a tad more civilized, idles nice at about 750, but has the most wonderful burble on downshift.

Mmmm. Burble.

I know it's not original, but I don't care.
