[Healeys] water pump

[Al Fuller]

One the guys' water pump failed during a Conclave or Spring Thing trip, 
and Tom Mitchell changed it on the side of the road. The grill was 
definitely undisturbed, but I don't recall whether we wound up pulling 
or working around the radiator.  When I have tried to work on water 
pumps with the radiator in place, I have always wound up cutting my 
knuckles on the fins, and also having to straighten out fins, too.... 
Just saying.

Tom just left California Healey Week, and may or may not be able to 
comment.

BTW, CHW is a great get together!! We had 50 Healeys or more, and 
probably over 100 participants in Yosemite National Park.
