Pump 4: Now it's Ridiculous

Are you ready for this? I finally got the 74 Dodge pickup running yesterday after much putzing around with the new fuel pump. I let it run for a while in the driveway, and then headed up the hill to the grocery store. Halfway up the hill, it stalled. After much coaxing I got it started only now there is horrible noise. I pulled into a school parking lot and coasted most of the way back down the hill. I had to restart it about 3 times before limping back into the driveway.
Lifted the hood...guess what? A hole in my water pump. Aaauugghh!!
Another pump! This is four since April 11.

Insult to Injury Dept.

Last night I washed a load of laundry. Before bed I went down to move it into the dryer. The laundry was dripping wet. The spin cycle didn't work. I figured it must have a broken pump.

Good News Dept.

Following some advise from Tim, I tweaked around with the control knob and halleleujah! It is Healed!

Stay tuned for the continuing saga: As the Pump Turns
