Before looking for major water pump repairs/replacement take a look at the condition of the shaft packing at both ends. Back off the big flat nuts on either end and fish out anything inside. Replace the packing with fresh material by winding it around the shaft and packing it.<P>Packing material can be from any of several sources. Make sure that the shaft nuts are tight and that the water pump has been properly lubed. Water pump packing can come from Ford Model T, A or V-8 parts vendors. Look in Hemmings.<P>If the shaft is scored, I would have a machine shop make another one from stainless steel stock.<P>Sources that may have door handles and more for your cars:<P>Vern Barker's Romar, Titusville, PA<BR>814.827.7601 8am-10pm ET M-F<BR>e-mail: romar@mail.usachoice.net<P>Roy Brister's Dodge Parts, Sacramento, CA<BR>916.973.9778 best time evenings PT<BR>e-mail: screenside@aol.com<P>Carson's Antique Auto Parts, Holliston, MA<BR>508.429.2260, fax: 508.429.0761<BR>e-mail: w1066@gis.net<P>Gene M.
