Installed the pump and belt today
Got some nice help from my daughter.
Thanks Britanie.
Also checked the timing. Thanks Luc for the 32V'r.
Everything's perfect.
0 degree driver side.
-2 degrees (retard) passenger side.

Put in a new head unit, wanted a bluetooth connection to play music off my phone. The mic works surprisingly well for handsfree calls or yelling at Siri.
PO had spliced into the hatch release parking circuit (1A fuse) for the constant 24V power for his aftermarket install .... naturally that fuse was blown and the stereo reverted to factory settings every time I shut the car off. The rest of the stereo install is pretty nice so I was a little surprised at that splice selection. Relocated that connection and the new unit works great.

Put everything back together after the water pump change.
Everything looks good. Not leaking and engine coolant temperature is normal. Now I need to drive the car to make 100% sure all is good.

Diagnosed issue with passenger side washer system, and formulated a mitigation plan.
Checked ATF level. Not a stitch of a loss since putting in the new GB unit.

Rebuilt some axles. Rebuilding axles sucks.

This is the 928 forum.
And on topic:
I drove mine.
125 miles each way on a weekend round trip.
All my gear fit nicely, and the drive down on Friday and back on Sunday was just fun.

New 550 CFM, 145 MPH, 58v electric blower!
Took out the center dash vent, closed the side vents, turned on the engine and A/C and reverse blew out the evaporator. Then blew out a whole lot of stuff out of the 'leaf collection zone'. Amazing what comes out of the nooks and crannies with hurricane force winds!
Can't wait to use the blower for drying after washing the car. Certainly cleans out the interior in a jiffy.

I feel so bad, no pics of working on mine, 'cause I drive it all the time.
but I did scare off the tailgaters today when I went a little slideways when the shark came up for air while hitting 2nd.
...yeah the road was wet, ok.

Today, I'm putting together a bag to take to Tass's. It will include a cordless drill and a small screw. The long story:
I'm at the best Indy shop around, in Albany, for a cars and coffee sort of thing. I have the owner look at my car under false pretenses. I actually want his advice on how to keep my radiator hose from slipping off the engine nipple, right side. He tightens it up, says I hadn't done it right. "You can do all that work on your intake, but you don't know how to tighten a clamp?" Ouch. It's true, I only know the proverbial "do not over-tighten", where there is an implied "do not under-tighten", altogether useless advice that should be expunged from the literature.
But it nearly slips off again on the way home.
I finally realize I never installed the wire thing that fits in the groove. It should be in a bag in a box on a shelf - maybe the powder coater lost it. The smaller hose nipple for the heater just has a nub on it, so that's where the drill and a small round-headed screw come in: I crudely created one nub already. So far, so good. But I'll be prepared to install another.
We'll see if the anti-corrosion additives in my coolant can handle this galvanic horror.
Naturally, I will accept the donation of a proper wire thing from your box of odds and ends.
