Re: IML: 56 Imperial water pump

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

The first thing that I had to do ever on my '56 was replace the water pump. My father reminded me last night about how I spent over 19 hours on that job. It was manily due to the a/c unit that had been added, but installed the same way as the original, using those two mounting bolts into the water pump. Lining that up was a bear!
