Vacation: Friday

  • Changed harmonic balancer/crank pulley- was able to use the small 3-point puller to get it most of the way off, then walked it the rest of the way with a pry bar in each side.
  • Changed water pump pulley (actually could have just added the outer pulley but used both from my eBay purchase). Looks like original paint on all pulleys and fans was argent. Now the pulleys are black.
  •  Continued fabrication of the power steering pump using parts from the kit and some heavy angle iron. Have it pretty well done and painted engine color. 

While changing the balancer, I made a discovery about my engine noise this car has always had. See the video.


The rack and pinion unit arrived back from Flaming River tonight, too late to do anything other than check the ends. They are OK... well, at least the one I checked was!
