GK,

Gonna be checking out the Pontiac Heaven event? It should be a good time!

I checked my spare pump vane clearance with my spare divider plate, and found about .4" gap, even without the gasket! I mashed on it with the hammer without the gasket until it made contact. Then I put the gasket between the pump and divider, and I have a perfect gasket-thick clearance. I will try it out probably Sunday. It will be interesting because I currently run about 210 on the highway, with new oem style radiator, 180 stat with 3 small holes drilled in it, all on a stock 1973 230 400ci - no radical combo, timing all stock, etc.

It will be a good chance for some before and after, as this is the only mod I plan on making right now.
