Bizarre Water Pump Inlet Arrangement
Has anyone seen this type of water pump inlet before and know its history & applications? Instead of a full length 'spigot' for the inlet hose to attach to there is a shallow (~1/4") land that a separate solid bronze spigot attaches to with a longer (and no longer) 'hidden' bolt. These pumps came off my Canadian '39 Merc/Commercial Truck block (a 99 'keystone'). The engine was only ever used in stationary service, hooked up to drive a water pump for fire hose practice at our local fire hall. The arrangement certainly allows lots of options for radiator hookup so I'm wondering whether this engine may have been military surplus.
My apologies. This was meant to go on the early V8 discussion. Last edited by macdonge; 12-08-2017 at 10:52 AM. Reason: Posted in error. This was meant to go on the early V8 discussion. |

Have 2 sets. Am in the process of rebuilding the pumps as spares. No plans to sell at this time. ;-)
