Got the new water pump in today, and everything seems to be working fine.  I had a small drip coming out where the thermostat is housed, but I think it stopped. I used some of that goop on the gasket which I think might have screwed up the seal.   It only took me about 2 months of weekends to do this job!  Ordered the wrong pump from J.C. Whitney.  Installed it.  The old screws  did not fit the fan hub.  Called J.C.W. and they said I had the wrong pump.  Mama mia.  Took it off, and ordered another pump from a local shop.   J. C. W. won’t take the other pump back since I had it too long.  I guess I will put it on eBay.  Anyway, finally am running again, so I am happy.  Now to the  sticking brakes, leaking power steering hose,  and I just noticed the fuel gauge is incorrect.
