Today, driving down the freeway in my 59 Ply Sport
Fury, heard a strange noise, short time later temp guage started rising, started
to smell coolant. Pulled over to check under hood - fan pulley was
actually broken off of fan pulley hub and wedged up against water pump housing.
Let car cool down and limped it back home about a mile. Tonite took her
apart. I thought water pump had seized but impeller turns freely.
Fans 4 bolts were tight. Generator was tight. Can't figure it out. Going to
steal the pulley off my parts car and get a new water pump tomorrow.
Wondering if this happened to anybody else???? Kind of ironic,
because just this morning, dropped my boys Dodge Daytona off at
neighborhood mechanic to get his water pump replaced. I can't work on those
side-ways engines. And tonite, went out for pizza in my trusty Plymouth
Reliant - on way home brake lite came on - pedal goes to floor - discovered
leaking brake line. Shoulda stayed in bed. And I'm not going to mention
snow, John B, last time I did we got 8 inches the next day.
