Re: [Chrysler300] 300F Water Pump

["Jerry Lindsay" <jerrylindsay300h@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, Mark's right. I was referring to the number of impeller blades inside the water pump. My A/C units had (6) six implellers and the non-A/C had (8) eight. 

Go figure that out. I took off the water pumps on all the (10) I had at that time and the numbers held true troughtout all of them.

  I think he's referring to the blades on the impeller. Those little thingys that actually move the water.

  ater Pumps don't have blades, the fan attached to the clutch assembly, that
  s subsequently attached to the pump have blades.

  hen I recently got my 62-413 running, I replaced the water pump as I didn't
  want or didn't know how good the old pump was. The first one I got had a 
  air line crack in it that my buddy helping spotted. Then the seconf one had
  a different number of blades in it. I found out the A/C water pumps had 
  ifferent number of blades. I can't remember what that number was, but that 
  he three A/c units were differnt then the non A/C ones.
  Perhaps others members can shed a different light on it and that I just had 
  ifferent number of blades was a odd happening. At any rate, that's my 
  tory.

  No one else said anything yet, so It might be total wrong, as it does not 
  ake sense even to me, but if it a new/rebuilt orig 60s motor, could it be 
  ost rebuild, you have now suddenly dislodged a heap of sludge/rust from the
  lower block areas that has broken away while motor out/dry, and this has 
  locked the flow somewhere - or else something non rust/sludge, like the 
  hermostat is jammed shut?!
  Whatever the cause, it sounds like the pump is being overloaded, like the 
  mpellor is being 'turned off' by backed up/solid water?!!
  Check thermo and then also top of radiator tank to see all little flow 
  oles, tops of tubes, are clear, as start points.
  Christopher in Australia - cool weather still amazing/weird for this time of
  late spring, locusts slowed/stalled by the cold nights, so southern winter 
  rain crops still going great so far and harvest just anout to start abd run
  through to near xmas in some slower/cooler areas

  I traveled to the Chicago meet in my F convert, during which I threw at 
  east
  wo water pump belts. Upon arriving in Chicago, several guys that know a lot
  ore than I do about the F engine noticed that the fan pulley was not lined 
  p
  ith the crank pulley. All suggested shimming out the fan pulley which we 
  id
  y about 3/16". I drove home and all seemed well; no belts thrown and car 
  an
  ine.
  After arriving home, the engine was properly broken in and I began to 
  ncrease
  he speeds I drove. Shortly thereafter, the water pump failed as I slowed 
  own
  rom about 4,000 rpms. I did have another water pump in the trunk and I 
  eplaced
  t.
  Within 50 miles, that water pump failed while driving about 60 mph on the
  nterstate, taking out the radiator.
  So, I bought a NAPA replacement water pump, replaced the water pump with 
  ailed
  earings, had the radiator repaired and installed, cranked it up and it 
  dled
  icely for about 30 minutes, at which time I shut it down. Upon start-up, 
  he
  ew NAPA water pump failed.
  I am at a loss at what to do. The belts are not too tight. My only thought 
  s
  hat shimming out the water pump may have put too much stress on the water 
  ump
  ith a fairly heavy fan/clutch assembly. Any other suggestions?? I can't 
  fford
  nother radiator rebuild and I am afraid to drive the car any distance. I 
  an't
  nderstand why I could drive the car nearly 1,000 miles with the shimmed out
  ulley, yet I can't keep a water pump operating without the bearings 
  ailing.
  elp!!!
