Default Re: Antifreeze Leak Help!

I agree. I grind off the tips of the vanes on the impellor because the water pump pumps way TOO much and will either spray coolant out around the radiator cap or exit via the over flow tube when accelerating. Ford improved the water pump in 32 with the B engine . I also like to use bolts instead of studs and nuts when installing the water pump. Bolts instead of studs and a two blade fan makes water pump removal without removing the radiator much easier. Care must be used when removing the old studs, they break easily and are a real pain to remove after breakage.
