I have the parts and equipment for the V8 vacuum pump overhaul.
Along with a new oil pressure sender, and older style plastic hose to the brake booster. I have a small, yet annoying oil leak in that area I want to seal up. I also have a new Peirburg electric water pump that is noisy. Will do that and do a coolant change. I also have a new hydraulic reservoir that mists fluid. My Indy told me that when the reservoir starts to mist or leak, it's a sign that the internal filter is clogging. Either that, or the cap oring is old. I tried a new oring, didn't fix it.
