Grandpa’s Blazer gettin fixed up…

Papa is fixing up grandpa’s ole Blazer
What is this hole in top of water pump. The old one was filled with what looks like JB Weld. Should I fill the new one or is there a missing part?

Also, I think I got a long water pump and it replaced a short water pump. I am having difficulty getting the power steering pump bracket to marry up correctly.

Can anyone tell from the photos if the water pump and power steering pump look correct?

How deep into balancer does crank shaft go? I know it’s held on by large bolt and washer. I am about 1/4” off the timing chain cover.. this was reached using torque spec.

Steering column replacement.

Rebuild original is about 375$ parts and paint.


New Speedway 91003307
$390

Supposed to be direct fit.

Any input or known solutions to buy replacement column? Keeping it on the road build. Just don’t want crap or something that will break easily.

Original rebuilt $1500-1700$

looks like its for a car and not a truck? Plug is on top of the column and not below it like it is on a truck. gear shifter is in the way of factory that's in the dash. ( I'm probably wrong about everything, I usually am) you ad a key to it and it goes up to 450$.
