Hello. I have the 1970 Camaro SS in process. The screw at minute 16:20 on my Camaro was fused to the water outlet, it was impossible to remove. I drilled it and added a long screw that finally tightened well. I keep watching the whole process. I have to say that these are the most useful videos I have found for my Camaro. Thank you so much :D
Hello to all who are watching this video, Tom is very good and informative on all his video's , please pay attention to what he is doing at 16 min's in by tightening and loosening the bolt. All old classic cars are full of surface rust, dirt and grime, which tend to make breaking nuts and bolts loose very difficult. to avoid most problems, try this method first and you will find it to be very useful, and less stripped nuts and bolts.......wrench on it
Very pleased with your video I'd like to send you a picture of what I've done but I'm not great with the computer Anyway thanks Really hoping you were near me anyway hello from Florida
@@ProblemSolverGarage maybe stupid question, but what is the purpose of that threaded hole at the top of the water pump (the one with the allen head)? Is it to bleed the engine coolant?
@@bmwspeedman As far as I know there’s no need to bleed the system on that engine and c3 Corvette, the pump is universal for different vehicles so on a different vehicle there might be a hose outlet there. Could use it to bleed the system if you had a problem with air in it but you just need to fill it up and run it, as it’s running just keep topping it up, the air comes out on its own in that particular design. Once I’m filling up the Fluid I will find out for sure the procedure just not there yet. But I believe there is no bleeding Involved
Put your hand on the hoses that go to the heater core, those get warm right away if there is no air in your system, if they don’t start warming up then there’s air in your system, literally a minute you can feel the heat
Really like this guy's videos. If you're following him please remember to use torque specs. Especially on your fan clutch it should be 15 to 18 ft. pounds. Over talking them can cause them to snap. People have lost their lives or severely damaged their cars due to overtorking these bolts.
Excellent! Is the fitting you show at 13:29 an inlet or an outlet? I plan on capping the ports that go to and from the heater core, instead of bypassing it by joining the 2 hoses, so I would like to know if that is an inlet for coolant or the outlet. Sorry for the newbie question but I am not quite sure how the coolant circulates... . Great video!
@@ProblemSolverGarage Thank you. Yes, I know about the loop, but others simply cancel the hoses and cap the inlet outlet ports (pump & manifold). I'll check for the flow direction online. Keep up with the great videos. Perhaps one on choke adjustment, timing, air mixture screws, carb rebuild....
Hi bro I’m putting that same pump on my 79 c3 is it a short or long water pump? I can’t find a video that explains that detail thanks for your help and very informative videos thanks.
Hi, i am from France, so my technical language may not be accurate ... our c3 from 1979 mechanical gear has a steering pulley that does not turn really straight. You see? So my question is how to remove it, cause it seems that it comes without screw, any tips how to fix it? Many thanks and best regards

Loving your videos man. Thanks for attention to detail
Thanks. Enjoy the whole restoration
This video is straight organic love how real you are
You do nice work, Tom. The rubber fuel line bothers me, I hope you replace it with hard lime soon.
Fajnie że jesteś. Zaraz będę wymieniał pompę w swojej C3 :) Z Twoją pomocą.
Kolejna bardzo dobra robota Panie Tomku.
Dzienki
tak, wkrótce uruchomimy silnik 👍

Do the bolts need to be torqued?
35 to 40 is good, if you over torque you could easily brake the pump
i really enjoy the videos you make, helps me with what i’m wanting to do to my c3. God bless you bro!!!
Thanks 🙏🏻

Super video once again!! Keep them coming!!
Thanks bud, appreciate the positivity and the feedback next video heater box, what a sh*# show there

Should be filling it up with antifreeze next episode
Great video. Question on the lower hose. Could you have installed it on the radiator first and then dropped the whole thin down as an assembly>?

you need to run a hose from one to the other to create a loop. I can’t remember which is which there’s pictures online of the flow direction.

I can't remember but I believe that the short one
@@ProblemSolverGarage thanks appreciate it great videos.
I've got a 73 corvette and my pump is the long pump plus the shaft where the pulley goes is 3/4 " in size
👍
czekam na pierwsze odpalenie po remoncie 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Super dzienki 👍
