Peat,
COngrat's on your new purchase. The guy from BC was probably me. The
seller was somewhat wishy washy, I called him first thing Saturday and
he told me he would not be available to show the car until after work
on Monday so I was quite surprised to find he had showed the car to
you I guess on Sunday. In the end I gave my head a shake opting to
stick it out with my '85 Turbo :o) . I'm sure you will iron out the
bugs in no time.
Water pump is driven by the cam belt. If that has not been changed
yet I would suggest that it is one of the first things that you do.
When you say that the rad header tanks are "boiling" do you really
mean that or are they just hot? Are the cooling fans coming on?
