I took a look at the impellor and noticed a barely perceptable difference from one side to the other. After flipping it, it began to pump normally, though leaked like hell from the weep tube. I expanded the bellows on the carbon seal and that seemed to work to dam the flood. Now if I can figure out the purpose of a 1/4 inch long, 3/16 inch diameter coil spring that fell from the carbon brush end after removing the end bell, I'll put it back in the car and pray. Thanks again for the advice.
