Default Lt1 swapped inevitable failure

Well I guess I was only a matter of time, water pump has failed!!! Luckily I had the foresight to make the well documented modification of adding a nipple and hose to the weep hole!
avoided an expensive repair, optispark stayed dry!!!
so if you have an lt1 in anything. Make that mod!!!
I have ordered a new water pump through rockauto and will be making the same mod to new one!!! Also preferring an ac delco one this time, maybe it will last more than a few years but only maybe 5000 miles!!!
