Default Please help an Australian

Was checking out posts and found one from Chris in Australia, who asked for help about a used water pump he bought needing repair for his 454 before being shipped to his country.

NOT A SINGLE PERSON SAW IT AND ANSWERED HIM!!

How about someone with this info going to his post and helping him? It's so expensive to be a Vette enthusist in another country, can't we help him out? Take a moment and check his post from yesterday and help. Thanks guys. Glenn

I bet I know why...454 in the thread title.

I know squat about BBs so most any tech thread on a BB I don't open (just cause I figure I won't know the answer and/or don't need to know the answer). I'm sure I'm not the only one either.....

Posted after 9PM, too.
Most folks are snug at home by then ... I know I am.
Actually, I was in the garage sanding fenders.
I guess that could be considered snug at home.

We're all over it now! I saw it late last night and admit....My tired dumb **** went to bed, as I had been gone for 4 days. I was surprized that this morning, no one had responded to the guy. I looked up a ZIP kit and posted it as well as other suggestions were there from others.

Hello Guys,
Thank you for the advice. I did not want to waste shipping costs unnecessarily.
