Update: changed water pump and gasket along with thermostat and housing (because it cracked when i was taking it off), replaced with new everything and no more running hot! The water pump gasket had blown out on the top and would leak coolant and the thermostat housing gasket was also leaking now it stays below 210, (have CSF triple pass radiator) and its great

Niiice, im up near pottstown...... If you look at the previous picture, youll notice that the black soft line goes all the way down to the water pump, the only way to take the hard line off is to take the pump off, i figured while its off i might as well throw a threaded hose adapter in it because my hard line was pretty rusted, ill try to grab some more pictures

Niice, id say go down to a car quest and grab the piece im talking about, its only $5 and its much better then having to take the pump off again just to fix that line, how much u pay for the pump? I know car quest has brand new ones for $30ish thats where i got mine

I bought the water pump for 10 bucks. Hard line was free because it was still on the pump. Also bought a brand new starter for 15 bucks too

Its a CSF full brass (tanks are also brass) and triple pass meaning 3 pipes wide instead of the standard double pass rad which is just 2 pipes running though, i got mine off ebay for $200 with free shipping, much much cheaper them even a ****ty oem double pass from anywhere else, it works so well, keeps the temp gauge lower when wheeling
