Recently purchased a spare transmission pan for my

  I installed a brand new Duralast waterpump from AutoZone 40,000
miles ago, in my 85 Chevy Caprice. Already the bearings are worn. I
can move the fan around quite a lot, and also the pump is noisy.

I have a 99 Sebring with 80K on it and the Mitsubishi build 2.5 V-6. I
am hearing some really bad things about the new CHrysler built 2.7 V-6s

I have a 67 Chevy with a 327 sb. I put an electronic distributer and a
new carb on a couple of years ago and never got around to setting it
just right. I just start it every few months and drive it around town
