Oh I can't wait, as soon as 6:00pm hits i'm leaving work driving home and installing a new water pump, adjusting the vavles, and removing a couple hundred more pounds of bondo, they say its going to be around 60 F tom. I can't wait!!!

Any tips for replacing the water pump to save me time, before i head home?

it's pretty straightforward. Get new mounting bolts, however. You will save yourself a lot of grief.

Ya your right it was straight forward. Only took like 20 mins! And i took it for about a half hour drive, it was fun. The car after sitting for about a year is starting to run better the more i drive it. For except the carbs are messed up! It idles at like 4000 most of the time and when you press on the gas to like 5000 it doesn't idle down and you can do like 40mph without pressing on the gas!!LOL not good!!LOL got any suggestions??!!

This may sounds like a stupid question but, did you try adjusting the carbs using the idle screws yet? There is one on each carb, when you adjust them you have to make sure the screws are turned eqivelantly. Also check the screw the is on the throttle linkage (I forget the name of it, my manual is not with me) the can be used to increase or depress throttle idle.

Edit: I am sorry, you will have to disregard this, I forgot that you have Weber Carbs instead of SUs
