Default 1936 Water Pump Question

I have a pair of Skip Haneys’ water pumps on my 36. Skip rebuilds what you send him so these are original Ford castings with the Zerk fitting and brass cover. Does Skip use self lubricating bearings or should I give them a squirt of grease? I put at least 100 miles a year on the old lady but I’d like to keep her happy. I emailed Skip but haven’t heard back from him yet.

Thanks,
John

If you have Zerk fittings with the brass cover, that is not correct for a 36. the 36 used a large zinc plated body that has a tiny grease fitting screwed into it. Is there a casting number on your pumps?

My 36 is an early one, September 1935 and has a lot of 35 hold over parts. My pumps appear to be the 1935 variety as shown on page 109 of the 35-36 Ford Book.
