    Spent today replacing the water pump. Found our why it was frozen... A RTV blob ring squeeze out had broken free from the backing plate and wedge the impeller. Guess the milspec for RTV is bigger the gob better the job. Went looking for the check valve... sure as Shinola I found it... also...

    Dang she will not start... No fuel and it's upstream of the filter. I have been reading about a "check valve" that causes issues. Where is the check valve? It could also be the fuel pump but I can feel a pulse when i put my thumb on the fuel line. I think it may be a little weak but I do feel...

    Yeah I read the thread and good infor there. Nothing about the rear steps though. I would like to know what "frame" is made of. I believe it is 3/16 or 1/4 plate aluminum... The only things missing in the engine bay is the alt bracket, a couple of exhaust flange bolts, the serpentine belt...
