Finally fired up the GTS with the 300 engine swap. I swapped the stator, water pump and cover from the 250 engine and I want to verify the water pump is doing its job before really running it.

Is there a sure fire way to tell, like pulling off a hose or something and seeing flow? I dont want to just let it "warm up" and possibly overheat if I missed something.

if you pull the pump cover or "nautilus" you'll be able to see the impeller spin.
