1930 Chrysler 66 Water Pump needed

[Jonathan Miller]

Hello folks.

As the subject states, I'm looking for the above. Does anyone know of parts suppliers in the US, preferably with an online ordering service? They're kind of thin on the ground here in England <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I feel your pain. I repaired mine after the front bushing had siezed because the rebuilder failed to drill it for grease. Did you ever locate a source of pumps? Here are picks of mine. http://www.flickr.com/photos/73674711@N00/

I know I'll need a new pump some day. I've considered biulding my own.

Thanks for the reply - I thought that this thread was consigned to the dustbin (errr trashcan)! My problem was the impeller, and I ended up having another one made by an excellent local engineer. Strangely enough, I too have problems with the front bushing, and am thinking of getting a grease nipple added.

Your car looks fantastic - rather different to mine, which is used as a Trials car (basically, this involves driving your vintage car up muddy hills in the name of sport). Chryslers do rather well, due to the torque of the engine.

If you're interested, go to Vintage Knowledge and click on Gallery / Lakeland Trial 2004. My car is one in the 18th and 19th shots down, and there's another Chrysler (a 72) in the 5th and 6th shots down. If not interested, just ignore me!
