"So just how much water should
"So just how much water should an impeller pump?
1979 470 w/ heat exchanger.
I put a new impeller in last week. The old one was missing a fin. This impeller really never pumped that much water to begin with. Never a steady stream.....more like a light rain.
I am having overheating problems hence the replacement. While replacing, I took out old impeller parts that were stuck in the housing. Installed the new impeller, new gaskets.....the whole kit. I am still overheating and the new impeller just doesnt seem to pump enough water.
Should there be a steady stream? Should I be looking for obstructions? I took off the water inlet grills but found nothing there.
Any ideas on where I should start?"
