The pump is in and everything is buttoned up.
Water PSI and temp are good, serpentine belt is running smoothly.
Thanks for the advice given here, especially the suggestion of using a trash bag to keep the water from entering. That plus the earmuffs gave me ZERO water coming in.
The new pump is half brass and half ABS. I will hang onto my old brass one in case the ABS part gives me trouble.
I might have paid a shop to do this but the down time durring the season would have been too much for me.
I now know more than I did before.
