Linus Tremaine Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I would like to purchase a water pump for rebuilding for a 22 special six if anyone has one. Thanks Linus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(S) Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I have a post somewhere about ID on a 1922 - 1924 I just bought. Look for the post- it has some pictures. It has a complete engine in rough shape. I may be able to go get just the pump off of it. It would be cheap, but need to see if it is any good..

Linus Tremaine Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 here is a picture of the one on the car. Where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 I dont know if the light six uses the same pump as the special six. They are different engines and it looks like you have the EJ prefix for a light six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(S) Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Sorry, I was hoping they were the same. Yours is probably not the same. I'm up in Washington.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUDE48 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I have been working on a mold to cast new impellers and housings. The shaft is easily machined from 304 stainless. The rest of it is brass on the stuffing boxes. I made a new shaft for my car it works flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 are impellers usually bad? I was hoping for s spare pump so that the car didnt have to be apart for a time when the pump is getting repaired. I was planning to send it out and have a new shaft made. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good rebuild shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDE48 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Impellers can wear, are worse break, they are cast bronze. You local machine shop should be able to handle making up a new shaft, in stainless steel. I made my own replacement shaft, in my home machine shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Talk to Dave Thibeault.(978) 897-3158 He had shafts made for the light six. He may have them for the big sixes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
