George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

Just got a set of rebuilt Skip water pumps. The job is professional looking and response time was great. George is certainly an asset to the flathead community. Thanks again for a great job

I second this comment. Skip also did good work on the water pumps for my '36 coupe! Scott

2 sets of pumps and one coil. They work! And if you are ever in Florida it is a great shop to visit. If GM is "hanging around" you are in for a treat viewing his Fords. John

One coil for me. It works great. Fires up as soon as I hit the switch.

If you got a flathead you gotta get his pumps. Even Henry would approve.

Skip also markets an overflow pipe valve. It keeps water from being thrown out the overflow pipe on trips, etc. My '35 was bad about getting hot, being that the water would keep getting lower, the longer I drove it. Now, with his pumps and valve, I have no heating problems at all.

I just received my set of Skip Haney rebuilt '37-'48 Ford water pumps as well. I mailed these to Skip Monday before last, May 17, Priority Mail, Flat Rate Box and received them back yesterday, Monday, May 24th. He did an absolute beautiful job on these pumps. See pictures attached. And guess what......they fit my 59ab engine perfectly. No need to worry about holes not being cast or reamed correctly because they are the original 78-_ _ _ _ pn, made in the USA pump housings, and not the alternative made in China versions that are being sold by all the big, well known vendors. They will also cool the engine better than the original pumps and are guaranteed for 5 years or more. They came with two new gaskets and an instruction sheet on how/what to do to get max cooling from these high flow water pumps. What more could you ask for and where else would you get this kind of service or turn around time? If you need water pumps for your Flathead, do yourself a favor and send your old cores to Skip for a rebuild. You will not be sorry you did. JM

Got my water pumps done and rebuild distributor on my '36 last year....It doesn't get any better than Skip !!!!

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

He rebuilt my coil and set the rebuilt distributor I already had. Started the car for the first time last night after installing the parts and it fired right up. I'm looking forward to a summer where the car will start when it's hot.

I am 36 coupe an never used Skips water pumps.I rebuild my own with kits i bought from the Ford garage for 2 bucks each in the50s.

Hey Fellas,How much for a orig. pair rebuilt from a 8ba, would you estimate in cost? thanks Ken Nice Job, i hear he's the best!!

Just wondering if you also rebuilt the water pump on that Model A powered saw mill. that you frequently mentioned on the old Fordbarn, that always over heated? I don't think Skip rebuilds model A pumps or I would recommend sending that one to him for rebuild along with a set of your '36 pumps. JM

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

If I ever have a overheat problem I may send them to skip but the ones I got from Macs for my 59 ab have been doing a perfect job for me for the last 4 years. (Fingers crossed) ~~Walts37~~

What sort of $$$ (ballpark)??

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

I have one of skips overflow valves on my 32 Ford and 29 Packard, they work great and solved the overflow problem.

Bassman/NZ 06-03-2010 08:00 PM

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

Not trying to start a riot, but how do Speedway and Drakes pumps compare to Skips? The reason I ask is they are both already available here in New Zealand.

39portlander 06-04-2010 07:33 AM

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

Bassman, I had THE Walt Dupont rebuild my 59AB, the drake pumps I had were off a 1/2 hole to bolt on the block. We shipped my originals to skip and a week later they were back!!:D I've since returned the drake pumps, when I find a decent orig. pair of pumps I will send those out for a future motor. Listening to folk's on the barn, not much beat the original part. Drake has fixed the prob. W/the pumps. They were great to deal with!!

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

I've had Skip rebuild two coils and two distributors (I always carry a spare, or in this case loaners). Very pleased with the quality and turn around time. LouB.

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

The Model A only overheated when we used it to power a cord wood saw.Lack of foward motion may have done it but a thermostat stopped the overheating.The Ford never overheated when worked in hot weather.A friends father ran a sawmill with an A engine until he bought a new tractor.There were 4 Model A powered cord wood saws cutting firewood in the early 60s near me.I helped Joe Ribero saw wood with his A powered saw in 1964.He told me me you had to use a thermostat to avoid boiling.

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

All 3 39 Fords has skip water pumps and his coils. Very happy with his work. Seen his shop and he enjoys his work very much.I got two waterpumps for the 35 to snd him for rebuild.Only place to go in my book.

GaryTx 06-05-2010 06:33 AM

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

The single biggest difference when starting your flathead is a coil rebuilt by Skip...He's the best...

Re: George "Skip" Haney Water pumps
 

36 coupe, You just don't GET IT even after all these years. Number one an "A" motor isn't like a V/8 and never had over heating problems. The reason the "A" motor over heated was the water was pumped out the over flow and got REAL LOW on water and BOILED over. The thermostat RESTRICTED and SLOWED the flow of water with a LESS WATER LOST out the overflow BUT STILL LESS WATER THAN A FULL radiator. With a LITTLE MORE WATER in the system BUT STILL NOT FULL the engine RAN HOTTER THAN IT WOULD FULL OF WATER ALL THE TIME but did not boil over. If you had SKIPS PRESSURE VALVE it would have ran in the normal range and you could have SAWED WOOD ALL DAY without FOOLING AROUND with a hot engine. PLease read this several times and maybe you can understand it. This is the SAME THING that happens on the V/8s when MODERN thermostats are installed in temperatures over 85. Also you may want to read the PROVEN results from many others that use a WORKING pressure cap or Skips valve. One persons VISSIONS are no where equal to HUNDREDS of of reported feild results. Also the stock "A" pump provides plenty of cooling water flow and needs no improvement, where the stock 32 to 53 pumps do not provide enough flow. Your 36 pumps deliver 55 gallons each in 5 minutes where Skips 32 to 36 pumps deliver 92 gallons, again ask the several thousand users and get the REAL PROVEN results. G.M.

I have a 38 cpe with a 53 engine and late truck waterpumps.

My question is your website shows modified impellers on the early engines, is this the case with the late truck pumps?

thanks, marvin
