Water pump restoration from a 1928 Chevy.

[@SuperDave-xs6pt]

Nice video. I think more packing is needed, as this is a periodic adjustment for old cars. You should have thread showing on the bushing, to allow for a few more turns along the miles... It doesn't take much tension to stop the leak, so don't get too tight initially. It needs the water pump grease, and to seat in with the engine having some run time.

You are making me feel guilty about not making some videos on many procedures while restoring my 1917 Chevy, it is a great help for someone who is just getting started. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for watching and the kind words.

Great video, except that you forgot to install the water pump baffle, which goes in front of the impeller. Without it the pump will not work like it is supposed to, leading to overheating.

[@lunchtimerestorations1490]

@@OttovonRaab I will look into that. Thank you. Do you have a picture of the baffle?

where did you get the new impeller that is what i need

[@lunchtimerestorations1490]

I ordered that from Gary Wallace. It came in a rebuild kit with new bushings and washers.

The nut only needs to be tight enough to stop coolant leaking. Also, on the inner bushing, was there a hole to line up for grease to get in from the grease cup? I did mine years ago, so can't recall everything

[@lunchtimerestorations1490]

There was a hole in the lower bushing. I made sure to line it up with the hole in the body. Another viewer just pointed out that I should drill a hole in the upper bushing in order to allow oil to get in there.

[@shawngreenberg6102]

I don’t think you need to drill the front bushing. The brass should be oilite which is an oil impregnated brass keeping the cup oiled is all it needs. The grease on the rear one protects the steel shaft. Yaounde need to use calcium based grease. The Filling Station sells it. I own a 28

[@lunchtimerestorations1490]

Thanks for the information. I will order some on my next order. How long have you owned your 28?

[@shawngreenberg6102]

About 14 years.

Where can I purchase this kit…??
