    Thanks, oh just a thought and I remember seeing this as a kid after we rebuilt a 289. The timing cover had a pin hole behind the water pump. Electrolysis had eaten into it. Didn't notice it until two sets of head gaskets and heads later...Boy was my boss pissed...He was the one that missed it..

    I don't remember checking the timing cover, I gave it to my Buddie for his maverick lol

    The water pump was good also, heck for being 30+ years old it looks better than the chinese autozone one I replaced on the Tbird a while back!

    Drove it to go get parts for a job, spent the day going over a few things on a 67 gt350 and then finished up building a blow through carb.
