New Years eve I decided to replace the worn out, leaking water pump on my 31 with a new leakless pump. I also Replaced the hoses painted the outlet tube looked great. Fired it up no leaks! Yea! Drove it to town to get some oil absorber to clean up my mess on the shop floor. It's only about a 4 mile trip and when I pulled in the lot and stopped a guy pointed to the front of the car. As I rounded the front fender I notice the green waterfall pouring out the front of the radiator. The upper tank had blown a seam. So today I'm pulling the radiator for a trip to the shop tomorrow. I guess its a good time to detail the starter and generator. Do I dare try?
