59ab water pumps, where to buy them?

[Big Z]

My 36 3 window has a 42 flathead in it and the left waterpump just started leaking badly. Where is my best best on replacing the pair of pumps? Skips, Macs, Speedway? Any feedback is appreciated. The car does not seem to run hot with oem pumps on it now.

I got my last pumps from C&G here: https://cgfordparts.com/ufolder/show...g=120&t=804&tn=

They are an upgrade from the original. They have the streamlined impellers like Skips but also have sealed ball bearings rather than the bushing that is oiled by the engine oil. I have 30,000+ miles on them without a problem.

I would recommend getting your pumps rebuilt by Skip Haney in Punta Gorda, FL. He does a beautiful job rebuilding them plus they provide improved flow and better cooling.

Big Z,

I have two pumps for 59ab that are in very good condition. They are yours for the cost of shipping (weight is about 15 lbs for the two, I am in Louisville, Ky.) You could send them to Skip for his modification. Richard

They are two places I have actually seen pumps for sale at .

Old Henry, NOBODY has a turbine impeller like Skips. These other "improved" impellers deliver 65 to 75 gallons of water each in 5 minutes, not much better than stock pumps. Skips deliver 110 gallons each on every pump shipped. Every pump Skip does is tested on a water pump machine. Others seem to be tested on the customers car. I have seen these reproduction pumps with cast iron debree lodged in the water passage on either side of the center mounting bolt restricting the flow to a trickle. In 18 years of doing the pumps and coils NO ONE has ever been charged for repairs on the few failures that have happened. G.M.

Hey G.M. Should I expect the same water movement on the 36 pumps Skip sent back, the impellers looked the same as stock (Henry's) I have several NOSB 34/36 pumps ?? OR is the improved impeller only for the 59 ab's ?? I am looking forward to better cooling on the way to Tahoe in June ?? Please tell me what to expect.... thanks.....OLD....BILL
ATTN; JM you can jump in here too, I know your running Skips pumps on you 35 driver, and swear by em ..... thanks for your input. o.b :
