Thanks guys for all the Ideas and support a member here on the site was kind enough to send me one.

I think I would call that eye candy......I could look at it all day.....nice nice nice should I say more

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The volute of a centrifugal pump is the casing that receives the fluid being pumped by the impeller, slowing down the fluid's rate of flow. A volute is a curved funnel that increases in area as it approaches the discharge port.[1] The volute converts kinetic energy into pressure by reducing speed while increasing pressure, helping to balance the hydraulic pressure on the shaft of the pump. [2] The name "volute" is inspired by the resemblance of this kind of casing to the scroll-like part near the top of an ionic order column in classical architecture, called a volute. What I was speaking of is the area that looks like a small triangle in the lower right in the pictures.

Thanks gentlemen for the help

That's intriguing because it looks like the bypass hole on both pumps is partially obstructed by the volute.

Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures and its good to see someone has a good camera Don , I was hoping for a internal view I wanted to see how the bypass is plumbed on the inside of the pump.

That's great news Bob good luck and continued health

That would be kind of you, if its not to much trouble.

Thanks Merle I had read it previously and remembered it. I was wondering if you had a picture of the internals of the Internal pump. I am thinking it must be a different design.

First of all I will say I am sorry about the picture quality. I hope this helps clear up the question of whether a external pump can be switched simply by switching the back cover or as I did drilling a hole for the internal bypass. The answer from my experience is no when I drilled the hole in the back plate using a new gasket as a template the hole did not line up with cavity in the pump .in fact part to the volute blocks the hole. # 1 shows the back cover with internal hole drilled in it. #2 shows the blockage with the help of a wire nut. # 3 shows the section of the volute with the nut in place, I cannot see how you could remove material here without weakening the pump.

I just finished moving the pointer on my cover it went very easy and I simply had to move it outward about .5 of an inch now at least the scale on the pulley will be of use.

Or are the Mopar gods frowning on us in general. I was pulling my carb apart for a cleaning and rebuilding and managed to break the clip/spring that holds the float in place. having just bought a kit I figured no problem well wouldn't you know it NO SPRING. anyone know a source.

That's the same style pulley that's on my engine. I am cleaning up my other timing case cover and will try to move the pointer if all goes well I shall have a match set .

Many of the British cars used lever action shocks into the seventies I believe, MG Triumph

Thanks gentlemen for the refresher and the professional quality of your responses.It is a testament to the dept of knowledge and experience on this site and also to the willingness and helpfulness of its members.
