Buick35

That's what I plan on too. I hope when I get my back cover I ordered it will be steel. Though the old style pump I sent back has a steel cover it also has a pin hole that's leaking water through.

My original 35 40 series water pump which has the flange nut and oil caps looks like it had a different impeller( more fins) than a replacement one I got that has the self lubricating bearings without the 1 1/8" nut. Both will fit. My question is will the earlier pump water better than the other later one or are they the same? Like you might know from my other blog my replacement newer style pump came with an aluminum cover plate which was corroding.

I think I've located the drop coming from a very small hole on the back of the cover plate so I shipped it back today.I could probably deal it with something but I'll have them check it out and fix it.

I have two manual shift cars,my 35 Buick and my 74 MGB.Once after driving the MG for a few days I went to drive my Buick.I put it into what I thought was first year but it was really in reverse.Luckily nobody was behind me.My son likes the accelerator starter on the Buick and wondered if he could put one on his old Volkswagon. Many people are amazed at how the Buick starts.Most say I've never seen that before but then most people under 35 have never heard of an MG either.

Interesting,Thanks.

Thanks,somebody under parts for sale has what he said is a 30s model radio and I thought it had the tri-shield on it but it must have been called something else.I should of asked when did the stop using the blue and white Buick script logo.

What year did Buick start using the tri-shield logo? Just wondered.

I called Bob's and they told me that's the way it comes from the manufacturer and they couldn't do anything about,besides they only have a two year guarantee on them.I did order another plate.

H ordered a steel backing plate from Bobs

As long as he happy like you said. If try it too since its not a daily driver. So far it looks like the J-B weld is working.

The same way an aspirin knows where to go for pain.

Thanks.I can't get it to quit dripping so I called and they said to send it back. It looks like it's driping from the back cover plate.

Another picture,sorry us not sending.

Here's a couple of pictures,I'm still fighting a leak but I'm having on it,I think.

Thanks

Thanks,I already applied it but if it still leaks I'll try that.

Can you get the name of the product? I'll see how the J-B weld holds up.

Thanks,I think I got all the water pump related leaks stoped,hoses and all but now it looks is I have a small pin hole or crack leaking on my water jacket by the #1 cylinder. I dried it well and cleaned it and applied J-B weld and letting it cure 24 hrs. I figure it's worth a try.Good luck with yours.Greg

Bloo,Where do you live? Sounds like Florida where I'm at and I'm having water pump troubles too on my 35.my 35 has a curved metal tube attached to the lower hose.I wonder if you're is supposed to.Greg.

Are you McGyver?

I thought it might work from sealing from the inside out. I guess I'm wrong. I think the Florida heat is getting to me. I should say stop leak.

I worked at a helicopter repair facility where we had one Irish o.j.t. students one of which charged a 12 volt battery with 24 volts. Everybody heard a our explosion but no one was injured.

What are your thoughts on engine block sealers and which to use on a non pressurized system,if any.Thanks

I'll try to send one later.Thanks
