Pulled the intake all back off again to install a new water pump, also changing out the spark plug wires and rotor. This is my second time into the valley, and this time I'm all alone. Of course I can call DMC-81 A.K.A. Dana for a pep talk if I need to
New water pump is in, and tomorrow will start with a pressure test, and re assembly of the intake.
And to think, before I bought this car, the most mechanical work I'd ever done was change oil!

Don't forget to plug the hole or you'll go lean on throttle during warmup.
In celebration of that momentous occasion, last Fall I decided it was finally time for some long overdue TLC work to be done at DMCMW over the winter. It was the first time I’ve ever let anyone else work on it. Today was pickup day. It got a new lease on life. It had been plagued with a bad driver side head gasket for years, it seeped on the outer edge. So knowing It needed new Head gaskets, I opted to go the Stage ll route.
after 6 months.
