what is a "big leak" to you

Ok, it is still on the truck, I will not be able to remove it until wed at the latest

1929, but I can tell you mine had a 4 blade fan not a 2 blade

Thank you, how do I tell the difference?

So, me being 17 and not the sharpest bowling ball, I ordered the wrong rebuild kit when I did my carb not knowing that there were different versions, so I don't want to make the same mistake again. I have a leak at the rearward most seal on my water pump and I want to know if there are any...

Autozone Brand fine?

So after my deal with the leaky carb, it runs and doesn't leak but needs coolant, which is the best coolant to put in it. Thanks

Thank you for that info, me and my boss had been trying to figure out why there were different carbs on different trucks

that too is warped, checked it yesterday, so should I get a new carb or resurface the one I have, and if I keep it, how do I resurface it.

We do have glass and I have checked the one side opposite from the one with the float attached and it is most definitely not flat, I cannot easily check the other side as there is a fixed piece that protrudes from the mating surface, but how would I go about resurfacing these pieces?

Is two gaskets better than gasket maker?
