1936 water pumps
Has any replaced the original water pumps with the new pumps advanced impellers in them. I was wondering if you noticed a big difference in temperature and solving over heating problems.

I've sent Skip (George) numerous pumps and can't say enough good about the man and his workmanship. However, after installing MANY of his pumps and noting NO difference in operating temperatures, well, to me that indicates they don't in fact make a difference on a finely set up flathead. If you're having issues and don't want to tackle the underlying cause(s), my "go to" would be George hands down before any other.

Re: 1936 water pumps
Skip uses a modern seal in the 36 type pumps. This allows him
to maintain closer clearances which increases the pump pressure. This results in almost double the flow. G.M.

Re: 1936 water pumps
Another option for the early pumps, are the truck pumps. The impeller is longer.
According to Ford, the head mounted truck pumps are 40 gpm @ 3600 rpm. The car pumps are 25 gpm and all the block mounted, are 45 gpm. G.M. do you make impellers for the truck pumps, too?

pumps produced 55 gals in 5 minutes at water pump test machine speed and after machining the bodies and Skips new impellers they produce 110 gallons in 5 minutes on the 36 pumps. G.M.

Re: 1936 water pumps
I was assuming you had a set of SKIPS pumps. G.M.
