water pump ID
We need to replace or repair these two pumps,they are on a 99a engine fitted to a 39 coupe ,that had an 8ba style distributor on it,(now replaced with a good crab dist), the pumps look like truck dual pulley ones with the inner pulley machined off.
Are these available new or repaired. thanks Lawrie |

Re: water pump ID
There are rebuild kits for the truck pumps available...they are ballbearing instead of bushing.
And have to pressed apart the opposite way from what you do with a bushing type. If the belt was moved sideways to get clearance for postdistributor...is the crankpulley std ? If you have a normal crankpulley and generator setup the std waterpumps should work..or are you running on one sheave of a double pulley setup ?? |

Re: water pump ID
The stock setup for the early engines doesn´t clear a post distributor so what crankpulley do you have now ?
The stock pulley doesn´t line up with with the second groove... If you want to back to stock original crankpulley and std pumps ?? Look at the pulley side of the pump, the shaftdiameter for a ballbearing truckpump is larger then a std bushing pump. Last edited by flatheadmurre; 01-29-2018 at 05:02 PM. |

Re: water pump ID
Impeller and seal is same as for a normal bushing pump if i remember right.
The bearing used to be available from the major suppliers.... You need parts for a rebuild or complete pumps ? |

Re: water pump ID
Start scouting the vendors the repair kit sold just became obsolete so someone should have a couple of kits on the shelf.

Re: water pump ID
An alternative, should you not be able to find replacement bearings, is available from reputable bearing suppliers [Saeco etc] These water pump bearings have an unhardened 5/8 shaft protruding from each side, simply machine one end down to 1/2" to suit the impellor and shorten up to suit. Very easy for you to do Lawrie.

Re: water pump ID
Brian, you got a part number for the bearing?
Thanks Martin. Lawrie, certainly looks like a double sheave pulley that's had the back machined off. Don't have a pump here to compare with the pic, but is it a bearing type pump body? I ask as I've had a pair of bushing type pumps that had the twin sheave pulleys pressed on. Martin. |

Re: water pump ID
So i grabbed some different bearings for comparsion.
top to bottom...59ab double sheeve...6 cylinder...8ba. Bearing outer measurement is same so you could take a 8BA ballbearing and machine it to fit. I also found 2 new pumps in the shelf...but shipping will probably be a pain. |
