I used Skip's pumps in my 33 pickup, simply because I did not really have another source for the 32-36 pumps. I was so impressed at how it stayed cooled in any condition, that I had a set done for my roadster. I drove that car (59AB with a 4" crank, NO thermostats as the instructions stated, 3 speed and 3.54 gears) to Bonneville and back last year. It was 1500 miles round trip and over 100 degrees most the way. The car never went above 180 except climbing White bird pass and the Lewiston grade...both very long, steep and hot. I will run his pumps in any flathead car I have.

Here is the whole story if anyone is interested.
