Ok update. I just put some washers behind the impeller to put the fins closer to the head. And instead of trying it with the hose off did it the way Mr. Tom said to and I over filled it a little. But with it revved I can tell it's got some circulation to it. I just drove it for probably 15 mins...

Lol yes the fan belt is snug. But you said rev the engine, does it have to be revved for the pump to pump? I think I tried that with the old pump.

Lol I started it and let it run until it got hot.

Well I took the top hose off of the radiator, left it on the top neck on the head/pump. Then filled the radiator until water came out that top hose. Then cranked the engine. No water was moved or pumped out at all. I might be doing my test wrong but I figured it would pump water out of the...

Yes sir, from what I've seen everyone has a problem with pumping too much lol.

Ok I just realized I have slack front to back in the shaft. Which I think indicates a worn head. :/

Sorry I didn't see that message, It is over heating so I took the top hose off let everything settle then cranked the engine. The level stayed the same in the radiator and the top neck on the block with the engine running .

And yes it turns easy by hand.

The key is good and shaft is turning, is there a thermostat behind the elbow on the side of the engine? I don't have an "in hose" thermostat.

Nothing is stopped I can flush the radiator and engine easy

Ok I've searched every where for something on this and can't find anything. My brand new pump isn't pumping at all. I bought it because my old pump wasn't pumping either. Are the fins supposed to be butted up against that little ring in the head? Mine have 1/8 inch of clearance it's like the...

When you have a problem like this how well do "extra cooling" mods help? Such as more blade fans or fan shrouds? I know it's not fixing the problem but they are way cheaper than a new radiator.

So it's either the wrong tank or engine, that's cool, I'll probably just have fun with it, I just didn't want to be playing around with a 15 grand car when I could sell it and buy two that I wouldn't mind driving in traffic or modifying lol

The engine number is *A230554*
