    then i had to do glowplugs on a powerjoke,
    then my white 350 puked the water pump and i was sick of the water pump leaking oil(yes, IH waterpump can leak oil out around the bolts)
    [​IMG]
    and why in the hell does IH have more bolts holding the water pump on than the wheels?

    Reminds me of Ford small block water pump, that has about 5 million bolts holding it on. Thats just another reason why I like vintage Chevy, stuff like that is so much simpler than Ford and even Mopar at the time.
