coleking Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hi, fellow dodge enthusiasts, I have a 1923 dodge tourer and I need to replace the water pump because one of the gland nuts was over tightened and snapped the threaded part of pump off. If I remove the water pump do I have to retime the magneto to secure the ignition timing and if so before removing the discs between the pump and magneto do I have to index the coupling discs to enable reinstillation of the pump, advise greatly appreciated.

nearchoclatetown Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 It would be best to turn to top dead center before removing, BUT not a necessity. Look at your Book of Information to find TDC. Disconnect the coupler without turning the mag, remove the water pump and replace it or rebuild it. When ready to hook up mag make sure you d not have to move it to make the coupler. It should be timed and run. IF you screw it up it's not big deal. The full instruction is in the Book of Info how to realign the mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
