Wrapping up the engine

Okay enthusiasts, it’s back to work. After fun and sun in Mexico I mellowed out after all I’ve been called worse than that. For those of you who find this a bore or redundant just tune out, it’s really that easy. There are others here who would get way more praise than I do if they would post. Jim S. made a whole new wiring harness on his own. Now I find that amazing. John C. bless is soul showed how things could be done on your own and inexpensively. We all have something to give here if we take the time. My contribution is photos of every part on our cars. I wish I had the knowledge that many of you have on here. I’m SLOWLY learning. Okay enough of that. I really thought I was going to start the engine today. I put the last parts on and connected the battery and then filled the radiator. Guess what?? Wouldn’t you know it a slow drip drip drip from the water pump. I spent the day taking it off and taking it apart and back together again. I couldn’t see why it was leaking and so reinstalled. I filled the radiator again in great hopes. The Dino Gods were not with me, probably because of all the hubris here lately. The same drip drip drip, only a little slower. Will have to sleep on it.
