[DeTomaso] Flow Kooler water pump

[Asa Jay Laughton]

My new Flow Kooler water pump arrived earlier this week.  Tonight I took 
some photos.

- It has a backing plate already attached to the impeller.
- The bypass is -not- blocked and my photos provide interesting insight 
into the recirculation system.
- I've illustrated two different gaskets that come with the pump, one of 
which I don't believe would work very well.

I'm excited about using this new pump.
Oh, and I got a new neck on my swirl tank, and with a new cap, I now get 
a good 15 lb of holding pressure with no leaks.  Amazing.  The shop did 
tell me the neck that was installed had no inner lip, it just tapered 
down into the tank and they couldn't get a seal on it, even though they 
-told- me they measured it (using a micrometer) and said it was the 
proper depth.  Not sure I believe that, but they couldn't find the old 
neck in the trash for me to compare it to.  Anyway, the new one holds.

Tomorrow is another big wrench turner day.  I plan to work on the 
Pantera all day long and get as much done as possible.  My goal would be 
to drive it by Monday.

Wish me luck or come on over if your local.  :)
