1931 Auburn 8-98A - What water pump packing to buy? was created by elipper
I have achieved success on getting the motor to start and run well and am down to a nuisance problem that is pretty obvious -- my water pump is dripping a drop every ten minutes or so. I could live with the drip pretty easy but in trying to add any tension to the nut I think it is bottomed out and has no packing left to work with. While the shaft may have some wear I won't know until I open up the nut and look. Hopefully it just needs a repack. So to make a long story short I need to buy some packing for this car and didn't know what size works on this car or where to buy it. Appreciate any tips from the experts. My set up is in the pics.
