Subject:'84 water pump question
From:Jason Beighley
Date:Fri, 3 Jul 1998 00:11:25 EDT

I'm in the midst of changing my water pump (1.9 in '84 GL).  After words of
advice from listees and four hours of work, I got it out.  Before I order a
replacement from Ron, I'd like to know if anyone else besides Ken, Darrell, or
Joel can give me any more insight as to anything else I should do while I have
this thing off?  I'm already planning on a new thermostat, and maybe temp
gauge sender, and belts and hoses.  I'm only replacing the hoses that are
directly hidden by this thing, as I'm sure I could spend a couple hundred
dollars on them all if I really wanted to.

Sorry to have reposted this, but I'm sort of a newbie and a little paranoid
that I'm going to have to do this all over again in several weeks because I
overlooked something.

Also, I'm looking for front and rear bumpers, rear door shocks, a sliding door
handle assembly and both side window sliding locker thingy's (that's a
technical term).  I'm in NC, but will be making a long drive cross-country
soon so things may be workable.

Thanks to all,
Jason
