What kind of pump did you install and do you know what it's rated at?

skip54

the pump is origial equipment for the 57. came off a 57 wagon. that's all i know.

Have you changed the block or pully size from what was original?

skip54

no, haven't changed anything. same setup that came off the parts car. one fellow said to check the pump pressure and it should be 700#. where in the world do you get a pressure gauge that reads that high to check this. thanks.  skip
