Any hints before I start tomorrow?

Chris_H · 03-27-2001, 05:38 PM

Ok, I should have posted this a few days ago but I have been busy. Does anybody have any hints that will help tomorrow go smoothly? I am installing my Stewart Water pump and my Black Magic electric fan. I decided to go ahead and put my stock alternator pulley back on just to be on the safe side. I know I need to pick up some antifreeze, but is there anything else I should get? The stock pump should just unbolt and the new one bolt right up correct? Just want to get some input before I dig into her. Thanks in advance.

the water pump is easy and straight forward, only thing I can think of is have a good gasket scraper, I had a dull one and thats what took the longest!
