gah! so i just finished this electric water pump...

god, what a pain in the ***. getting the old pump off was easy as pie, the new pump on was pretty damn easy too 'cept i dropped a bolt and spent an hour digging through all the gunk under the steering rack. then the wiring was a pain in the prick, cuz the switch was bad and i kept misplacing the electrical tape, so i went back to the store and exchanged it, only to have THAT one go bad. finally got a decent switch, and i put on the new belt (905k6), and great! the belt was now rubbing on some little boltlike thing sticking out next to the crankshaft pulley. by now it was 5 a.m. and i pulled out my trusty sawzall and cut that ***** off. so now the belt doesnt rub, and the pump turns on, so i'm doin good, but i look at the belt and its wiggling in the space b/w the tensioner pulley and the crankshaft pulley. that and i smell rubber when i'm not moving. no squeeking tho. haha, i'm whining all ove the place here but i'm in such a good mood now that its over. i'm glad i did it. pics later.

**** switches bro.. go with a good relay hooked up to the key ignition. took me 15 min to wire up!

the mezner or whatever it is, is a great pump.. enjoy!

Im goinng to get another v6 m5 camaro so that i can swap everything off my totalled camaro onto the new one. going to go look at a 97 Silver 5speed camaro wednesday. same amount of miles i got too and a great price.

hopefully i like it and get it. [img]smile.gif[/img]


i got some work to do.. if i get this car.. i gotta take off the headers, water pump, intake, injectors, coil packs.... and swap them to the new car.. then put the stock parts from the new car on the old car..... rah what a pain

[Camaro Dom]

geez, it sounds like it... hell, ya might try fer a newer one too, like 98+. maybe see if ya can get a y87 pack while ur at it too. that sux that u only get 4 grand for it. i never understood that... if you insure a brand new car, the premium is the same as if u insured that same car 5 years later, but with the new car they'll give you tons more. i think older cars should get discounts... yeah, i agree all that work is a pita, and i can only imagine what i'd do if i totaled mine. i'd prob get an m5. manuals are so much more fun to drive.
