'63 top pump

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

 

Try contacting Hydro-E-Lectric in Punta Gorda, FL.  There number is (800) 343-4261.  They have a variety of kits to rebuild your pump.  They also have technical reps. you may speak with who may be able to tell you what is wrong with your pump and how to repair it.  There is no charge for this service.  I would imagine they would have a new pump to replace yours should that be necessary.  They helped me a great deal with the pump on my '66 Eldorado and now it operates perfectly.  Give them a call and see if they aren't able to help you with your pump problem.

Subject: IML: '63 top pump

Do we have anyone on the list that has been inside a top pump?

 

I am working on one that hadn’t been moved in a number of years and was all gummed up.  I have it running and pumping but it will not build pressure.  With the top cylinders unhooked the motor will very slowly run them up and down.  Pitch of the motor does not change when the cylinders reach the end of their travel.  With the cylinders attached the pump runs but the top barely moves and will not lower on its own.

 

I’m looking for advice on what could be wrong with the pump or a source for a replacement pump that wont break the piggy bank right here at Christmas shopping time.
