84 water pump
Soooooooo my 84 keeps on over heating. And my guess is the water pump but this water pump is less than 5 months old. I wanna say I got from advanced auto parts but can't say that's 100%. This is the second water pump. Is this a common thing? Or should I invest in a better water pump?

Get a good 195 t stat, flush out your system, clean out in front of radiator (leaves/papers), make sure air dam is there, make sure the cooling fan comes on at aprox 230*, get all the air out the cooling system.

1) Is your "new" pump a reverse rotation pump?
2) Is your spark timing correct?
3) Do you have a blown head gasket? (My '84 let loose at 38k miles.)
