Anybody out there with the same question?
There is a metal disc about 10" diameter attached to the water pump on my 88 and I don't know what's the function of this thing. And I was wondering if I can remove it and probably get a little more power since I'm taking waight off the water pump. It is attached with 4 screws. And if I do so, will I get any problem with the cooling system? What is the function of this disc?
I have checked the Haynes manual and other books like TPI swapper's gide and How to tune and modify TPI engines, the owners manual but it's not shown anywhere. Also asked the local GM dealer about it and they only told me not to remove it, it is there for a purpose. Yeah but what is the purpose? They couldn't tell me.
I saw the same thing in a 89 in a local show but didn't ask the owner about it.
Have anybody removed this disc without creating another problem with the cooling system?
