I have a 59AB from a 46 pickup that had one waterpump making noise. I took both off and cleaned out the oiler holes. I have oil running out of one and not the other. I tried putting some wire up there and running air through it. Any ideas on what to try next?
Under what conditions?? Those holes are not pressure fed or anything organized like that. They are just openings up into the valley and when engine is running they get oil from splash, mist, draining, etc. With engine off, valley will drain out very quickly and there will be nothing up there to drip into the pumps. If hole is open, that portion of the feed is probably ok.
My 36 had pump problems several years back. They began to screech like a wild animal! Picked up "water pump" lube from NAPA that went into the radiator. Worked like a charm - No more noise. Don't remember what the stuff was though...
I took the boths pumps off and started the engine, the passenger side had a nice slow flow of oil from the hole but nothing from the drivers side at all. The passage is clear and I can feel some pressure coming out of the hole but no oil.
