JBP Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Victoria Day Long Weekend here in Canada, and has probably been the best weather we’ve had for it in 20 years (no rain or snow), so with everyone still kind of isolating, perfect time to perform a little surgery on the Special. Received a rebuilt pump from Terrill Machine, and installed it this afternoon. The orientation of the brass fittings to mate up with the hard lines takes a bit of finessing, but went on without too much struggle - however, my install took longer than the Buick Flat Rate book said it should take...😉 Not sure how long the pump had been on the car, but somewhere around 25 years, I’m guessing. Someone had made a homemade gasket for it at the engine block, which made me feel better about the replacement. Always glad to undo some of the “home repairs” where I find them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Nice looking finish on the pump. Is that just clean metal or paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 That’s just the metal, Dan. The guys at Terrill do terrific work. - far nicer than the old one I yarded out of her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
