Anybody ever replaced their water pump only to break off all the bolts in the timing cover? Well I just did! It's trashed now. I tried for the last two weeks to get them out by all sorts of methods and nothing worked. Penetrating fluid, heat, easy out nothing worked. I need a new one. Anyone got an idea where to find one, preferably oem. And a double roller timing set to go behind it also? It's a 73 electra 455. I love this car but man is it hard to get parts for!
TA performance sells brand new better than original timing covers. also any other performance part you could want for a Buick. Bob http://taperformance.com/
I saw their website this morning. Just what is the difference in theirs and what makes it so much better. I was kinda thinking about getting one from them but would like to know what I am paying for if you know what I mean.
By the way, Basketball Sam has a few NOS ones for sale. He'll be at the Nats, or you can find him here. I think he has a thread in The Bench about them right now.
