Yep, Adams list is pretty much it, check it all out before you pull the motor. Also try packing the pump with grease to rule out cavitation. Also try a new pump. You are priming it with a reverse rotation drill aren't you?

Hand fabbed the shelf beneath the rear window area. It had to have a new panel between trunk and window in the end too. Tim is good:

Like all bloody old cars, the Charger was a bit more rotten than i thought. Saying that, it was described by the seller on Ebay accurately. The roof was pitted, which became holes when poked hard.

Cheers :) Had stitches out today and the nurse (bit of a MILF) said that the Norwegians do the neatest surgery in europe. Always good to know....

Back to the Death Proof Charger - Once the roof is done then it's a coat of POR15 and then vinyl roof time methinks....

Not sure whether to 'weather' a vinyl roof or just keep it new. OR i could dust the roof over with matt black and let the surface rust have a good stain. Tim reckons a vinyl top (as per factory).

MILF? :read2:
